The Hindu swastika is a 5,000-year-old symbol from the Indus Valley Civilization, means "well-being" in Sanskrit and represents prosperity and the cycle of life, linked to Ganesha. Used in Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist rituals. Its positive meaning was tainted by the Nazis' reversed version, but it remains sacred in these cultures.
