Symbolism Unveiled
The central and most prominent emblem is the 'Tilak', a traditional mark worn on the forehead by devotees of Vishnu. This particular 'U' shaped Tilak, also known as the Urdhva Pundra Tilak, is formed with two vertical lines of sandalwood paste joined at the base by a line of black paste representing the lotus feet of the Lord. It symbolizes the blessings and protection of the divine.
To the left of the Tilak, you'll find the Sudarshana Chakra, the divine discus of Vishnu. Known for its formidable power, the Chakra is wielded by Vishnu to vanquish evil and protect his devotees. Tales abound of its swift and decisive action against forces that threaten cosmic order.
On the right, sits the Shankha, or conch shell. In Vaishnava tradition, the Shankha represents the sacred sound 'Om', the primal vibration of the universe. It is also associated with prosperity and auspicious beginnings. Blowing the Shankha during rituals is believed to purify the surroundings and invoke divine presence.
