Origin and Meaning of Symbols in Hindu Culture

Project Synopsis
In the history, nothing is born without meaning but many meanings are forgotten over times and what's left is only the subject will little or no reverence.

Symbols are integral part of any religion and same goes for Hinduism, one of the oldest and third most followed religion in the world. But with time much of these symbols were forgotten and those who survived had lost their origin and true meaning to the world.

Even those who have survived this long have started suffocating in the absence of their true meaning and origin. People have started questioning their relevance and discarding them in absence of any satisfactory explanation.

Today much of the knowledge on the subject either resides with few eminent in the field or lie trapped in books at libraries rarely visited.

The basic objective of the project will be to collect these knowledge, organize and map them in such a way that it becomes relevant to questioning minds and answer their queries.
