Gandaberunda

Gandaberunda is a giant, two-headed bird in Hindu mythology

Description
This species of birds is enormous in size, yet much smaller than Garudas, sentient bird-beasts of Hindu mythology. The Gandaberundas have two heads and possess immense stregth. They are often depicted with an elephant in both of its claws and beaks, lifting them effortlessly.

Gandaberundas are a common motif in Hindu temples, but actual mentions of them are sparse. The most well known example is when incarnaction of Brahma or Vishnu takes the form of a Gandaberunda to combat a mighty incarnation of the god Shiva. Thus, Gandaberunda is associated with opposing forces of destruction.
