symbollism


All communities have their unique symbols to distinguish them from others.Unfoprtunately,people are ignoring the relevence of symbols in life.Symbols representing animals,flowers,sun,wind,earth,oceans,strength,unity and learning can significantly enrich our daily life.
India has a rich tradition of symbollism though today their significance has been lost sight of.Ganesha,Durga,Laxmi,Cobra,Peacock,Rangoli,Sun,flowers and musical instruments were powerful symbols which made the ancient Indian culture a unique one.The ancient Greek,Egyptian,Aztec and Chinese civilizations had their own symbols which people could relate to.
The Art of Syumbollism needs to be re-invented and presented in a contemporary manner to represent themes like unity,equality,friendship,diversity,prosperity and peace.
