[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Aum is a mystical or sacred syllable in the Indian religions. It is placed at the beginning of most Hindu texts as a sacred exclamation to be uttered at the beginning and end of a reading of the Vedas or previously to any prayer or mantra. The Mandukya Upanishad is entirely devoted to the explanation of the syllable.



The syllable Aum is first described as all-encompassing mystical entity in the Upanishads. Today, in all Hindu art and all over India and Nepal, 'Aum' can be seen virtually everywhere, a common sign for Hinduism and its philosophy and mythology.


Wikipedia.org



"The goal which all the Vedas declare, which all austerities aim at, and which men desire when they lead the life of continence … is Om. This syllable Om is indeed Brahman. Whosoever knows this syllable obtains all that he desires. This is the best support; this is the highest support. Whosoever knows this support is adored in the world of Brahma."
~ Katha Upanishad I

Hello Vaibhav

Good sharpness & dof, with the dark bg appearing to both saturate, & accentuate the gold colour. Well done!

Merhaba myfriend vaibhav...
verynice detail and shot..superb colors and pov..bravo..selamlar

Hello Vaibhav, you have done a great job here. Your note is very useful and the picture matches the text so well (or does the text match the picture? I'm unsure how to put it, hope you understand, what I want to say). I even thought it a powerfull sign only when I saw it as a thumbnail-image.
With best regards, Britta

Very nice composition - the black background really makes the object pop out. Wonderful.

ॐ for you Vaibhav. Great photo

Good Vibes :)

Wish you the best,

Marco
