MOUNTED ANNAPAKSHI

In most cases the bird is depicted as holding a flowering vine in its beak, which is symbolic of abundance. Annapakshi is also a sign of purity and elegance. The belief is that if a mixture of water and milk is offered to the bird, it can separate milk from water symbolising choosing truth over falsehood.
