Re: REQUEST : questions on the images of Hindu deities
Hello Gloria,
: 1, Is there any symbolic meaning on the Gods' gestures,
: acessories, position, the composition of the pictures...etc.?
Yes there are. Most books on general purpose Hinduism or the gods will
include an adequate summary. Most books giving an overview of Asian
religions won't.
: 2, What are the importances and influences of making the Gods' images
: into pictures to a Hindu ?
There are several - too many and too detailed to list here.
: 3, Is visualization important to Hinduism ?
It depends on the actual division and the actual practices had.
