[9] Greater adjutant (Leptoptilos dubius), a member of the stork family, associated with the mythical bird Garuda, has a Rescue and Rehabilitation Area located in Bhagalpur, the second largest of its kind.

Loss of nesting habitat and feeding sites through drainage, pollution and disturbance, together with hunting and egg collection, caused a massive dip in the population of the species.

Garuda birds were first spotted nesting and breeding on a silk cotton tree near a village in the Ganga-Diara area in Bhagalpur in 2007.

This huge stork has a naked pink head, a very thick yellow bill and a low-hanging neck pouch.

The procession after the Puja is so long that it takes 36 hours to complete one big phase of Murti Bisarjan.
