Description

Gada or the mace is lord vishnu’s weapon as mentioned in the religious text of our country. It looks like a tapering rod topped with a round ball and is wielded by lord vishnu, the creator of the world according to indian scriptures.

This mace has another name called the “kaumodaki”, depicting the power of the lord.   There is a divine legend that gada was a ferocious demon who was both a terror and was also known for his charitable nature. Once, to put an end to his vile ways, a disguised lord vishnu requested gada to lend him his own bones which he did promptly and thus putting an end to the demon’s tortures.

Thus the weapon became one of god’s symbol and the term ‘gada” came into existence, for the mace, representing the lord’s divine strength. https://youtu.be/euuli7Uh87w
