EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the Hindu concept of the universe, as depicted by the intricate and symbolic cosmic turtle. Known as the "Cosmic Turtle," or "Makaradhwaja," in Hindu mythology, this celestial creature carries the weight of the universe on its back. The turtle is often shown swimming in the cosmic ocean, surrounded by the four Vedas, the sacred Hindu texts, and various deities. In this particular rendition, the cosmic turtle is accompanied by a snake (cobra) and two elephants. The snake represents the infinite cycle of time and rebirth, while the elephants symbolize strength, stability, and wisdom. The union of these three powerful symbols reflects the cyclical nature of the universe and the interconnectedness of all living beings. Hinduism, one of the world's oldest religions, originated in the Indian subcontinent over 4,000 years ago. The religion is known for its rich and diverse mythology, which includes an abundance of symbolic creatures and stories that help explain the complexities of the universe and the human condition. The Cosmic Turtle is just one of the many fascinating symbols found in Hinduism, reflecting the deep spiritual and philosophical traditions of this ancient faith. This stunning print, featuring the Cosmic Turtle with a snake and elephants, is a testament to the enduring beauty and depth of Hindu mythology. It serves as a reminder of the cyclical nature of the universe and the interconnectedness of all living beings, inspiring awe and wonder in those who behold it.
