The Goddess Vinata in her aspect of the Goddess of the Underworld is an interesting Goddess to explore as a Priestess of the Goddess Hecate. She is associated with eggs, as according to legend she had given birth to two eggs, one bringing forth a son named Aruna, and was born without legs, and another son Garuda, whom saved his mother from the serpents of the Underworld.
She is considered the Mother of the Birds, with her son Garuda being considered the King of the Birds.
I personally wish there was more information on this elusive Goddess. There is no evidence on actual worship of her as I could find. While I did not find any images of her, while there are many statues of her son Garuda.
