[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 110448, member: 35"] It is Chandi -- and the design is of the Chand worn by Nihangs. From this link comes the information below. [B] [url=http://www.amritcares.com/main/articles.php?article_id=17]Amrit Cares - Questions: Aad Chand[/url][/B] [B]Question: - I was wondering what is the meaning of the Chand that Nihangs wear on their dhumleh? Ive seen many wear them, there are many stories that I have heard, but I dont know which one is true, could you please englighten me with knowledge or any factual proof of this chand that is worn by Sikhs/Nihangs.[/B] [B]Answer : - [/B]More research is needed to know why Nihangs wear this symbol. (1) The logo or symbol of 'Aad Chand' is basically 'Ardh Chandra' (Half Moon). The Sanskrit word 'Ardh' (Half) is written 'Addh' in Punjabi. The term 'Addh' is transformed into 'Aad'. The Sanskrit word 'Chandra' (Moon) becomes 'Chand' in Punjabi. Thus, 'Aad Chand' is nothing but 'Ardh Chandra'. For thousands of years, the symbol of 'Ardh Chandra' existed in Hindu religion. For example, please the image below: - [IMG]http://www.amritcares.com/images/pics_questions/natraj.jpg[/IMG] [B]A picture of Natraj's statue, which is hundreds years old, even before the birth of Sikhism.[/B] Please compare this image to Nihangs' 'Aad Chand' and draw your own conclusion. The 'Ardh Chandra' is associated with Indian god 'Shiva' (Shankra). It is very common to see 'Ardh Chandra' on forehead of Shiv in pictures and statues etc. Natraj is considered an incarnation of Shiv-Shankra. [IMG]http://www.amritcares.com/images/pics_questions/shivshankra.jpg[/IMG] [COLOR=DarkRed]The Khanda is the image of two swords - Miri and Piri. Not the same as the Half-moon/ Trident. I am feeling very stupid about this. :8-): Anyway - Shiva may wear the arth chandra but that is not Shiva in the photo you posted. Snakes/reptiles nonetheless are part of the symbolic meaning being conveyed. Go to this link to see wonderful pics of Nihangs wearing the arth Chandra [url=http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~akali/Index/Mad%2520Eyes%2520intro.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~akali/&usg=__gjeWlTpHkFuhDaDljTM1K5c4a_0=&h=600&w=600&sz=32&hl=en&start=89&tbnid=0fP_aENUfXURuM:&tbnh=135&tbnw=135&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dnihangs%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D18%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26start%3D72]Google Image Result for http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~akali/Index/Mad%20Eyes%20intro.jpg[/url] [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
