Overview of INDICA Course Introduction to Hindu Iconography

“Introduction to Hindu Iconography” is a comprehensive online INDICA Course designed to guide learners through the rich spiritual and artistic traditions of Hindu art. It offers an in-depth exploration of the sacred symbols and figures that have shaped Hindu culture across millennia.

Whether you are a student of art history, a practitioner of Hinduism, or simply curious about the intricate world of religious iconography, this course will equip you with the knowledge to understand and appreciate the profound connection between divine representation and spiritual devotion in Hindu art. Through this course, you will unravel the meanings embedded in the Sanskrit terms ‘Archa’, ‘Bera’, and ‘Vigraha’, and learn how these concepts offer more than just an understanding of statues but a bridge to the divine. With expert guidance, interactive sessions, and a rich reading list, you will emerge with a deep appreciation of one of the world’s oldest artistic traditions and a certificate demonstrating your new knowledge.

It will take you on a journey into the heart of Hindu iconography and discover how ancient art forms continue to influence modern spirituality and cultural expressions.

In this regard we are organising an open session where our faculty will provide an overview of this INDICA Course on Introduction to Hindu Iconography

This event is open to all. Prior registration is necessary.

We look forward to your participation.
