Among the many threads that make up the rich tapestry of Indian cinema, Hindu themes occupy a special place. The scope of these themes is broad and ranges from ancient mythological epics to modern dramas. Hinduism’s symbolisms and philosophical depth have made it possible for filmmakers to use it as a medium through which they can talk about many social issues. Indian films in this regard have been able to entertain audiences while presenting commentaries on the real-life complexities of societies through Hindu themes. This article, however, discusses the subtle relationship between Hindu cinema and its social issue portrayals by examining how religious motifs are interwoven with real-life challenges in movies.

Understanding Hinduism’s Role in Indian Cinema:

Hinduism is one of the oldest religions on earth that exists deep inside the cultural fabric of India as a country. It provides filmmakers with several stories involving gods, goddesses, heroes, and teachings on morality, which act like a goldmine for them. Mythology in Hinduism serves as a reflection of society’s values, dreams, and problems. These universal tales therefore serve directors’ audiences who are contemporary by their resonance shaping current stories while embedding deeper social comments within their narrative structure.

श्री वेंकटेश्वर स्वामी वारी मंदिर भारत के आंध्र प्रदेश के तिरुपति जिले में तिरुपति के पहाड़ी शहर तिरुमाला में स्थित एक हिंदू मंदिर है। मंदिर विष्णु के एक रूप वेंकटेश्वर को समर्पित है, जिनके बारे में माना जाता है कि वे मानव जाति को कलियुग के परीक्षणों और परेशानियों से बचाने के लिए पृथ्वी पर प्रकट हुए थे।

The Parsi communitys art and architecture, so significantly intertwined with their religion and cultural heritage, which spans over centuries, is indeed a manifestation of the strong history of tradition, symbolism, and unique aesthetics. The Parsis, worshipers of Zoroastrianism, have their artistic tradition, which stands out from the rest because of their beliefs, history, and values. Now, we will try to unfold the world of Parsi art and architecture told through symbolic motifs and architectural styles which are the core of this radiant tradition.

The Parsi Faith and Its Impact (on) (the) Culture

If you want to understand Parsi art and architecture, you have to know the fundamental beliefs of Zoroastrianism, the ancient religion of the prophet Zoroaster, the founder of the religion, in ancient Persia. Parsi people, who fled from Persia in ancient times and found themselves in the Indian subcontinent, have been very faithful in preserving their religion and way of life.

Fundamental to Zoroastrianism is the idea of dualism—the continuous battle for the supremacy of Ahura Mazda (the highest spirit of goodness and wisdom) and Angra Mainyu (the destructive spirit of evil). This duality is shown in Parsi art via different images and symbols.

Symbolism in Parsi Art

Parsi art is devoid of symbols that are used to convey their philosophical and spiritual meaning. One of the most outstanding symbols is Faravahar, a side-dewing with a human figure, which symbolizes the Zoroastrian idea of the divine guardian spirit. The recurring theme is found in Parsi architecture, jewelry, and textiles which usually have spiritual implications of the journey and connection with God.

Other symbols frequently found in Parsi art are the Homa-time Sacred Fire, which symbolizes purity and illumination, and the Fravashi, ancestral guardian spirits thought to guard and guide the living. These symbols are not just decorative but they carry so much sense in the daily lives and routines of Parsis.
