Vyaghrapada, that is, one having the feet like a tiger, was one of the mythical rishis (sage) of ancient India. His image and iconography depicts him as a human being but with the legs of a tiger. He is also shown having a tiger-like tail. Generally, he is shown alongside Patanjali, and both are depicted as offering homage to Shiva in his aspect as Natraja.

Saint Vyagrapathar (Pulikaal Siddhar) Vyagrapathar means legs of a Tiger, this Siddhar a contemporary of Saint Pathanjali is an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva had blessed him with legs as that of Tiger for him to move around the jungle.
