Statues of God's in Balinese Hinduism are generally depicted with them riding animals. The God Wishnu is depicting as riding a Garuda. The Garuda Wishnu statue is also hoped to stimulate the dynamic of physical and spiritual values and the balance between skala and niskala (the real and unreal values) so that harmony on the earth can be created. These hopes are not excessive because the Garuda Wishnu statue depicts that real independent life can be achieved by being faithful to God.
