Abstract

This paper emphasizes that sacred signs and symbols are essential to the dissemination and intellectual understanding of knowledge in the context of religion and culture. This paper also describes the origin and meanings of the sacred symbols and signs from ancient Petroglyph Art to contemporary period. Sacred symbols are a simple way to convey abstract thoughts. They act as guides to knowledge and interact more effectively than expressions in many respects. Sacred symbols can develop social and devotional interaction which is the part and parcel of cultural identity.
