Over the millennia of its development, Hinduism has adopted several iconic symbols, forming part of Hindu iconography, that are imbued with spiritual meaning based on either the scriptures or cultural traditions. The exact significance accorded to any of the icons varies with region, period and denomination of the followers. Over time some of the symbols, for instance the Swastika has come to have wider association while others like Om are recognized as unique representations of Hinduism. Other aspects of Hindu iconography are covered by the terms murti, for icons and mudra for gestures and positions of the hands and body.

  • Индуистская иконография (англ. Hindu iconography) — совокупность канонических правил изображения божественных образов в индуизме, отражающих их духовное значение. В течение более чем двухтысячелетней истории индуизма в нём были приняты различные иконографические символы, которые являются частью индуистской иконографии. Они преисполнены духовного значения, основанного на священных текстах и культурных традициях. Толкование иконографии варьируется в зависимости от географии, исторического периода и религиозной традиции. (ru)
