Gajasimha – Mythical Hybrid
The Gajasimha creation is not an animal found in nature, or reality for that matter. It is the Indian counterpart to the European Chimera. An important part of Indian cultural heritage, this multifaceted, three-part hybrid, is commonly depicted in artworks in and around ancient Indian temples. We could all agree that we can be relieved this creation is only a legend and can’t be encountered in real life, as it is quite an intimidating creation.
