A swastika symbol designed with orange, red, and yellow flowers and lamps. The red flowers are the right angles of the symbol, bordered with orange flowers, and surrounded by yellow flowers. The four dots are represented by four red flowers and four lamps. The whole symbol is surrounded by a red flower border, which is itself surrounded by orange flowers and more lamps, with another red flower border. That is surrounded with more yellow flowers and lamps. — **Screenshot** Dharmics celebrating a festival with their ancient swastika symbol.

There’s a Hinduphobic campaign going on in California right now. The state legislature has a bill to ban the swastika, completely ignoring that the swastika is an ancient auspicious symbol of Indigenous Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains and that banning it is a direct attack on our freedom of religion.
