Book Summary
About the Book: Sacred Animals Of India
Animals in India are worshipped in myriad ways: as deities, like the elephant
(god Ganesha) and the monkey (god Hanuman); as avatars, like Vishnus fish,
tortoise and boar forms; and as vahanas, or vehicles, of major deities-the swan,
bull, lion and tiger. While some animals, like the snake, are worshipped out of
fear, some birds, such as the crow, are associated with the abode of the dead,
or the souls of ancestors, and the cows sanctity perhaps derives from its
economic value. There are also hero-animals, such as the vanaras, and the
totemic symbols of tribes later assimilated
