Griffin is a legendary creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle. These creatures were known for guarding treasures and priceless possessions.
The statue is in a rearing pose similar to a horse, which likely was created to give people impression that these creatures closely worked with humans. This statue is located inside the biggest and most important mahavihar called Hiranya Varna Mahavihar. This temple is also commonly known as the "golden temple" due to its all inside statues, structures that are coated with golden color. It is unique because unlike other mahavihar this is bigger and has a three-storey golden pagoda of "Shakyamuni Buddha" which was built in 12th century by King Bhaskar Varman.
