Suparnas

Suparnas

In Hindu mythology, the Suparnas were probably the Falcon worshipping or falcor rearing Iranians who conquered the Naga territories of north west India.

They could also be the Dragon worshiping Chinese people.

They were arch-rivals of the Nagas.

Garuda was a famous Suparna.

They had the ability to fly in air without using an aircraft. Some literature tells that they had wings like that of Angels. Some believes that they were birds like the hawk or eagle. Some think that they were a race of intelligent Dragons in the family of Dinosaurs, that became extict during the dawn of human civilizations.
