Devata Hastas-Hand gestures to denote the deities
Hope you had a great Navaratri. Wish you Good health, wealth and prosperity.
Also do take a look at the images added to the last post “Dashavatara hasta-hand gestures for the 10 incarnation of lord Vishnu”
In the forthcoming posts we shall see the hand gestures used to represent and describe different deities that we often hear about. The Abhinaya Darpanam lists of the hand gestures for
- Brahma
- Shiva
- Vishnu
- Saraswati
- Parvati
- Lakshmi
- Ganesha
- Kartikeya
- Manmatha
- Indra
- Agni
- Varuna
- Yama
- Nirrti
- Vayu
- kubera
These are the names of Hindu gods who are often seen worshiped. I shall be posting on each of these deities separately. Lets start with Lord Brahma first.
