Balinese version of the Hindu Omkara symbol. Known as Om or Aum, omkara is the root of all sounds, emitted as a mantra during meditation.
It is believed all desires will vanish thus attaining self-realization and the highest of knowledge. This one letter symbolizes the Most Highest in the Hindu Pantheon, representing every kind of trinity such as Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva; Past-Present-Future; Birth-Life-Death; Creation-Preservation-Destruction; and Wake-Dreaming-Deep Sleep.
