Vahana mount of a deity

Mušḫuššu

In Babylonian religion the mušḫuššu is most closely associated with Marduk, the city's patron god, whom it serves as an attendant or mount, and in earlier periods it is linked with other deities including Ninazu and his son Ningishzida, and Tishpak of Eshnunna, whose symbol it became.

Makara

In Hindu tradition the Makara serves as vahana, or mount, of Ganga, the goddess personifying the river Ganges, and of Varuna, the Vedic god of the cosmic ocean and waters, linking the creature firmly to the mythology of rivers, rain, and the sea.
