Kidal Temple at Tumpang, Malang-East Java.
A heroic tale depicted on the reliefs of Kidal Temple. Garudea, the main character in bird form, liberates his mother, Dewi Winata, from bondage imposed by his aunt Dewi Kadru. Garudea seeks the help of Vishnu to obtain tirta anumerta, or holy water.
With the power of the tirta anumerta, Garudea wins a fight against the guards confining Dewi Winata - three taksaka, or large snakes, who are actually her cousins. (yesstoursbali, يناير 2020)
