Ashtbhuj Duja Significance.

[13Mirch]

1.) What is the symbolic significance behind the Ashtbhuj/Astbhuj Duja?

2.) What is the history behind it? Do others exist?

3.) Any pre-Sikh era history behind it?

A gajgah is a dumala ornament just like in the last two photos of the above post. A ashtbuja is a battle standard for nishan Sahibs.

The ashtbuja would not fit on a dastar. It's the size of a human face lol.

Gajgah and ashtbuja are two different things.
