EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "HINDU UNIVERSE" showcases the intricate Hindu cosmogram, a symbol of ancient Indian beliefs and cosmology. The image depicts the tortoise Akupara, serving as the foundation for a group of elephants that, in turn, support the earth. The symbolism behind this engraving is deeply rooted in Hinduism and represents an allegory for the creation and sustenance of our world. According to Hindu theory, Akupara embodies stability and endurance while carrying the immense weight of existence on its back. The elephants depicted here represent strength and power as they lend their support to both Akupara and the earth itself. This visual representation beautifully captures the interconnectedness between all elements within Hindu philosophy. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported back in time to an era where ancient wisdom guided people's understanding of life's mysteries. It serves as a reminder that different cultures have unique perspectives on our universe's origins. Granger Art on Demand has skillfully captured this profound symbol from Indian culture through their exceptional printing techniques. This print not only adds aesthetic beauty to any space but also invites contemplation about humanity's place within the vast cosmos.
