A mudra is a bodily posture or symbolic gesture. The use of the mudras is quite common in the Hindu Poojas, Tantric worships, Yoga and also in Classical Indian dances. In Hindu iconography, the deities are often depicted with their hands making various mudras. Various deities have several specific mudras which are associated with them.

In Hindu and Buddhist iconography every representation of Buddha or a Vedic deity is depicted with a characteristic gesture of the hands.

The origins of the word mudra are uncertain as is the precise evolution of its meaning. At a very early period in the post-Vedic literature of India the term mudra designated the idea of a seal or the imprint left by a seal. Somewhat later usage takes on the meaning of “way of holding the fingers”, designating a ritual gesture
and marks of identity of a deity. The gesture is a sign, a ritual seal. Seal implies symbolism of authenticity, power, date, season, year, nakshatra, zodiacal sign, phase of the Moon or other planet.

HINDU THEATRICAL SYMBOLISM

Along with karanas (body positions), mimics (face expressions reflecting the state of spirit,
different feelings such as love, anger, calmness, enlightenment etc.) and poetical mantras (reflecting the flow of thought) mudras help in symbolical expressing different objects, including astronomical phenomena. Apart from acknowledging purely theatrical and esthetic aspect of mudras we emphasize the importance of astronomical context in Vedic calendrical ritual and liturgy or sacred therter.

In Yoga metaphysical symbolism each finger represents one of the five elements—the thumb is agni (fire), the forefinger is vayu (air), the middle finger is akash (ether), the ring finger is prithvi (earth) and the little finger is jal (water).

There are two types of mudras, single-hand and double-hand. The single-handed mudras number 28 and are called Asamyukta Hastas.

There are 24 double-handed mudras (Samyukta Hastas) symbolizing every half-month in a Luanar Year.

Apart from calendrical meaning, each gesture has its own bundle of specific meanings and uses (Viniyogas).
