The Hindu Faith, originating in India, is one of the oldest known religions in the world with some historians believing that man began practicing Hinduism around 500bc. Today, it continues to be the major religion and is considered the 3rd largest in the entire world.
Hindus believe in many gods, goddesses and deities, and over time this has produced incredible images. Vividly colorful images of these many gods appear in paintings, sculptures and adorn religious text.
For the Hindu who loves body art (and sometimes even those who do not practice their faith) these gods and deities exclude tattoo subjects rich in meaning.
Those who practice Hinduism are exceptionally devoted to their faith and dedicated to its teachings and precepts. The themes of this religion include duty, diligence, patience and restraint, to name just a few.
Matriarchy in the world of tattoos.
India, the only country where tattooing was seen as a sign of beauty and therefore was originally considered an exclusively female prerogative. The first body paintings were found on the skin of Indian beauties who lived several thousand years ago. The fashion of that time included the decoration of the body, hands and even face.
Only noble ladies could afford to decorate their bodies with patterns. This is explained by the fact that Indian women sought to identify themselves with the wife of the god Krishna, who is considered the ancestor of tattoos. The tattoo, in a sense, was supposed to emphasize the extraterrestrial purpose of the beauty.
Men's tattoos also existed. They were applied mainly on the back and served to define the class.
Meaning of tattoos
Different types of tattoos for women and men had different meanings.
However, tattoos were considered more of a sign of beauty, so tattoos were much more common on women.
Tattoos were also used to protect the wearer from the evil eye and other evils. Many people only use tattoos as a symbol of Indian culture, but every tattoo has meaning. Some tattoos are believed to be able to protect the wearer even in the afterlife.
Traditional Indian Tattoos.
Since ancient times, Indian tattoos have had a hidden meaning. They were meant to protect their bearers, attract good luck and help them find a spiritual balance. The secrets of tattooing were in every family. They have been perfected and handed down from generation to generation, evolving into a recognizable clan painting.
Mendi (mehendi) and tilaka are considered the most popular and widespread techniques in India. Tattoo mehendi is a painting of the body with liquid henna. The technique originates in ancient times and for the first time was used in wedding ceremonies, when brides were getting ready. The main motifs of mehendi are still plant motifs symbolizing the vitality and fertility.
Unlike mendi, talaqa has a deeper spiritual meaning. The images are painted on the skin with red clay, ash, or sacred oil. The drawings in this technique are more cumbersome and laconic. A striking example of tilaka is the bindi, a red dot on the forehead of Indian women.

How to choose a place for a tattoo?
Traditionally, Indian designs covered the hands, feet, and face. Today, with the advent of permanent tattoos, there is no rigid attachment to areas of the body. The main thing is to determine the size of the future drawing and place it so that all the details were visible.
As a rule, tattoos depicting the gods look good on the back or chest. But for the mandala, mantra perfectly suitable forearm, scapula, and even shin. The hand of the god can be applied to the palm. But, you have to be prepared for the procedure to be very painful.

What is the meaning of the pattern depending on its location on the foot?
Since ancient times, mehendi designs on the foot have been filled with deep symbolic meaning. It was believed that not only the plot of the image, but also its location can tell a lot about the woman who wears such jewelry:
- If the picture of mehendi is applied on the right leg, it means that its wearer has a strong-willed character and clearly sees the goals of life. However, some experts say that this picture is more characteristic for women, who are still looking for their destination in life.
- If the mehendi is drawn on the left ankle, the meaning is the opposite. It is the sign of a seeker who has yet to choose her life path.
- The mehendi signs on the right foot are a sign of a willful and selfish nature. A woman who makes such a drawing, as if she is warning others that she intends to use their attention for her own purposes.
- A mehendi pattern on the left foot signifies insecurity and a desire for protection. The motif is indicative of a woman who wants to "hide behind a strong shoulder.

The interest in mastering Oriental languages in our fellow citizens has increased just tremendously :_)) But exclusively at the tattooing angle, unfortunately. On the forum, the post about the Sanskrit inscription for tattoos is swelling with comments.
People ask to translate the sometimes utter nonsense. Sonny, who knows Sanskrit, is probably tired of answering, and answers less and less often. I do not know Sanskrit, only a few phrases and words and can read, there are no other people who know Sanskrit on Indonet. If there is so much interest in exotic Devanagari, I thought I should probably write some good expressions. maybe someone will like them. Below is my translation from https://freetranslati. Feel free to do some digging around and see what you can find. Here and now. अत्राधुनC_93E↩ च Live today (in the present) अद्यं जीव Always follow your heart (call of the heart) सदैव तव हृदयमनुगच्छ All you need is love केवलं प्रेम तवावश्यकमस्ति Love yourself आत्मानमनुरज Love this moment क्षणमेतमुरज Happiness Forever (Forever) शाश्वतानंद Live life to the fullest (in the fullness of life) जीवनं संपूर्णता जीव Keep it simple सरलो भव Change the world जगत्परिवर्तस्व Last (only) chance एकांतिमावसरः One life, one chance एक जिंदगी एक मौका God is love ईश्वरः प्रेमास्ति Manage your karma (i.e., be the master of karma (destiny) तव कर्मनियमय Believe in yourself स्वात्मनि विश्वसहि Peace (Rest) is inside, don't look for it outside (elsewhere, outside yourself) शांतिरंतरतः आगच्छति तां बहिर्मान्विष्य I am not this body. शरीरमेतन्ास्मि This too shall pass. चेतदपि गमिष्यामि Time heals all कालः सर्वं विरोपयत Faith, Hope and Love श्रद्धा, आशा प्रेम च If you need to translate a word into Sanskrit, use https://spokensanskri. or https://www.sanskrit-.
