Mudras are ritualistic and symbolic gestures found in Hinduism and Buddhism.
Do you know: The word ‘Mudra’ originates from a Sanskrit word, meaning ‘seal’ or ‘gesture’.
Most Mudras are performed using the fingers or hands, while some may require the use of the entire body. A Mudra is considered a spiritual movement or act, an energetic seal asserting the authenticity of religious practices and iconography. There are a total of 108 mudras used in tantric rituals. Not only these, mudras are also coupled with pranayama in yoga.
