Vishnu on Garuda as 'Avatar prequel'

 * Reason:Unique, ancient original painting of the blue-skinned Hindu god Vishnu riding the gigantic bird Garuda. This is a very traditional image in Hinduism, which a reporter from San Francisco Examiner recently dubbed "Avatar the prequel" It is slightly substandard per the recommended resolution, but I am not aware of any higher resolution version of it.
 * Articles in which this image appears:Vishnu, Garuda, Themes in Avatar
 * Creator:Published by User:Redtigerxyz. The original creator of the image is unknown.

 * Comment This is where the image comes from. Unfortunately, there is no bigger image available there. Cinosaur (talk) 04:56, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I was actually getting rather excited then- I'd love to support some images of Hindu deities, but this one is just much too small. The original will have been far larger. J Milburn (talk) 13:33, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
