Laxmi Garud Shaligram Shila

The Laxmi Garud Shaligram Shila has a naturally pointed, elongated form with bold ridged markings across its surface. The ridges resemble powerful wings in motion, giving the impression of flight and strength. The shila’s sharp curves and defined patterns mirror the protective stance of Garud, the divine eagle and vehicle of Lord Vishnu. Its dark, smooth texture enhances the contrast of the wing-like engravings, making the fossil look majestic and full of divine energy.
The name Laxmi Garud Shaligram is justified as the natural wing-like ridges on the stone strongly resemble Garud, the celestial bird known for loyalty, speed, and fierce protection. Associated with Goddess Laxmi and Lord Vishnu, this shila symbolizes prosperity, strength, and divine guardianship. Worshipping it is believed to remove obstacles, destroy negative forces, and attract abundance. Just as Garud shields devotees and carries Vishnu across the cosmos, this sacred shila embodies protection, prosperity, and the blessings of both Garud and Goddess Laxmi for the devotee’s household.
