The emblem imprinted on the Royal seal of the Guptas was 'Garuda' - the allegorical eagle. Garuda is a mythical bird entity in Hindu, Buddhist and Jain mythology. This bird is believed to possess great power and strength and is thus, frequently associated with the magnificence and valour of kings and their dynasties. The Gupta dynasty, which ruled over the Indian subcontinent from around 240 to 590 CE, prominently used the emblem of Garuda as their dynastic symbol.
