A well-known Indian parable, this tale of fate, spirituality and death is a part of traditional oral storytelling. Garuda, the divine eagle, sees the god of death hastening towards an exquisite little bird. He hides it away in a dense forest, but can death be held at bay? This parable of destiny and love gently mocks our desire to control the future.
