Mythical creature composed of nine animals in Hinduism
Navaguñjara (Sanskrit: नवगुञ्जर), or Nabaguñjara (Odia: ନବଗୁଞ୍ଜର) is a magical legendary creature composed of nine different animals in Hinduism. The animal is a common motif in the Pattachitra style of painting, of the Eastern Indian state of Odisha. It is considered an astral form of the god Vishnu, or of Krishna, who is considered an avatar of Lord Vishnu. It is considered a variant of the Vishvarupa (omnipresent or vast) form of Krishna, that he displays to Arjuna, as mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita, a part of the epic Mahabharata.
