Victorious Creature Of Harmony

The Tibetan Victorious Creatures of Harmony are symbolic animals formed by the pairing of six traditional enemies, representing universal love and the reconciliation of disharmony. Here are the key points about them:<br><br>Symbolic Pairings: The six traditional enemies—garuda and snow lion, otter and fish, crocodile (chu-srin) and conch shell—are combined to create three mystical animals. For example, a snow lion and a garuda are merged into a creature with a snow lion’s body and a garuda’s head and wings, symbolizing harmony between mortal enemies.<br>Symbolism: These composed creatures represent universal love and the overcoming of disharmony. They are often depicted on Victory Banners, which are ceremonial objects used to celebrate spiritual or worldly victories and to promote peace.<br>
