Tirupati: Garuda, the celestial carrier of Lord Venkateswara has an inseparable link to Tirupati. The favourite bird has established yet another link with the newly-developed Tirupati airport building, which is all set to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 22 (Thursday). The front view of the imposing terminal gives a clear indication that the building plan has drawn inspiration from Garuda. The overall view of structure carries an impression that the Garuda, with his wings wide open is ready to take a flight.
The Airport Authority of India (AAI) is apparently leaving no stone unturned to highlight the ‘Garuda angle’ behind the design of the building. Further, nobody can miss the statue installed in the airport lounge, which is again of ‘Garuda’, but shown as a structure resembling a man. The image shows that soul is trying to get out of a body. With its twelve hands placed away from the body, the soul is indicated to be ready to take flight. Meaning: Philosophically, a man is trying to wriggle out of the mundane worldly pleasures to reach ‘Moksha’ (salvation).
