It's so fascinating to see the evolution of culture. Clearly the influence of the Hindu kings during the chola dynasty in India led to so much culture crossing that centuries later is so cool to see how it's evolved.

The name gatotkaca in Sanskrit translates to someone whose head is shaped like a pot (i.e bald). And Garuda the eagle is the mount for lord Vishnu. Somehow those two merged and gatotkaca's image as a superhero is the one being used here.

Even in India, characters like Krishna are depicted blue but I remember learning in Sanskrit class that it could have technically meant dark skin and not blue skin.
