What is esvastica?

The swastika, also known as the esvastica in some cultures, is a symbol with a cross-like shape that is widely recognized as a symbol of the Nazi party and their atrocities during World War II. However, the swastika originated as a symbol of prosperity and good fortune in many Eastern cultures, such as Hinduism and Buddhism. It is a common sight in temples, religious ceremonies, and decorations in these cultures. Despite this, the symbol is not commonly used in Western cultures due to its association with the Nazi regime. The use of the swastika is highly controversial and can have significant cultural and historical implications depending on its use and context.
