HINDU ENGRAVINGS
AND SCULPTURES

Om carvings on the walls a typically used in Hindu worship

 

This is the Dhatura flower essential for Hindu Shiva worship.

The flower is depicted in the shape of the sacred esoteric Hindu incantation 'OM'.

Embossed designs of this blooming 'OM' are
drawn over the exterior of the octagonal central sanctum of Shiva where now a fake grave in Mumtaz's name, has been planted. While perambulating around the central chamber one may see such 'OM' designs all along the exterior surface of the marble wall.

On the same wall (not seen in this photo) are embossed marble panels showing foliage of the conch-shell design, which again is a sacred Hindu motif.
