Symbols are important in Hindu art. Hinduism is the oldest religion of all and therefore has more numbers and symbols than any other religion. Certain symbols are correlated with individual deities who allow these specific symbols to be recognized. Symbols are tattooed on many people of India and Western countries. They each differently represent different beliefs and ideas.

Hindus most commonly go to temples only on favorable events or during religious occasions. Many believe Hindu temples play a great role in marriages and funerals, but they are not.

Classical Indian music has a majestic asset combined to it. The melody of the
music are created through deep tones that are played as a drone. Musical pieces commonly start off slow but progressively move to a more fast paced beat then abruptly stopping the music to allow the listener to feel a sense of peace, release, and stability. |
Classical Indian Dances are crucial to Hindu ceremonies and festivals. They come from stories of Gods that Hindus take practice in like, Krishna and Rama. They are believed to allow the dancers to reach contact with the spirits of the Gods and relatives who have passed away.
