Meet a thrilling trio of incredible mythological characters!
Jatayu, the majestic, strong and wise king of birds. He raced to the sun, saved Dasharatha from Shani's deadly glance and sacrificed all he had for his loyalty to Rama by fighting the powerful Ravana to the bitter end.
Uchchaishravas, the splendid seven-headed king of horses, renowned for his speed. A symbol of Lord Indra's glory, this heavenly steed carried the king of the gods in grand processions and dangerous battles.
Sarama, the mother of all dogs, who aided Lord Indra in his many missions. Along with her children, known as the Sarameya, she helped gods, kings and humans accomplish the toughest of tasks.
