Description
I captured this Yoga Mudra or Hast Mudra or Hand Gesture at the Airport of India.
A Mudra is a symbolic hand gesture used in Hindu and Buddhist iconography, performing arts, and spiritual practice, including yoga, dance, drama, and tantra.
Taking stairs down to the immigration at the grand Terminal 3 of the Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi, the wall mounted hand gestures catch every traveler's eye. Not just a piece of art, these gestures are often used in the Indian classical dances to depict creatures and situations. Even in Yoga – physical, mental, and spiritual practices that aim to soothe and pacify a person – these gestures are used during meditation that directs the flow of energy into one’s body.
This mudra is called NASIKA MUDRA
This Nasika mudra is used in the anulom-vilom or alternate nostril pranayama breathing technique. It is important to fold in the index and middle fingers because this stimulates specific ‘nadis’ or veins in your body, and this adds value to your pranayama practice. It is useful for improving breathing and concentration.
