Swastika Inscribed on Azerbaijan Bronze Artefacts Signals Ancient Links

A diplomatic communiqué from New Delhi on July 15 reported that archaeologists in Azerbaijan's Shamkir district have identified the swastika on several bronze‑age objects recovered from the Garajamirli site. The sign, central to Hindu belief as a representation of purity and everlasting well‑being, appears here as a testament to its widespread prehistoric usage. Scholars assert that the motif’s presence across Eurasia reflects a network of cultural interaction long before historic records. The find opens new avenues for research into possible exchanges between the ancient Indian world and the South Caucasus, with the swastika serving as a tangible clue to shared symbolic traditions.
