Yantras: Some Reflections on Hindu Art
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Beyond its allure, hindu art seems cryptic to us. The reason why is that we try to understand it from our own cultural parameters, ignoring its sociocultural and religious context of origin. This article considers the general study of the yantras as a means to reflect on the fundamental principles, norms and characteristics of hindu art, in relation with the religious traditions that provides its meaning. We assert that only a comprehensive aesthetical analysis offers the tools to understand its purpose and symbolism.
