Description
English: Swastika It symbolizes Harmony, Lord Ganesh has it on his right hand. Differs from other uses of swastika by the four dots inside each of the four arms. Also, it is always drawn with the four inner arms at 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees on the compass, unlike other inscriptions where the inner arms are in the form of an 'X'.

Русский: Свастика Этот знак символизирует гармонию. Находится у Бога Ганеша на правой руке. Отличается от прочих изображений свастик наличием точек в каждом изгибе. Также, отличительной чертой этого знака, является направленность его лучей к 0, 90, 180, и 270 градусам по компасу, в то время, как остальные трактовки свастики руководствуются соответствием знака латинской букве "X" (Икс).

Non Nazi swastikas Legal disclaimer
This image of a swastika resembles the swastika that was used by the National Socialist (NSDAP/Nazi) government of Germany or an organization closely associated to it, or another party which has been banned by the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany.

The use of insignia similar to organizations that have been banned in Germany may also be illegal in Austria, Brazil, the Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Israel, Poland, Russia, Ukraine and other countries, depending on context. In Germany, the applicable law is paragraph 86a of the criminal code (StGB), in Poland – Art. 256 of the criminal code (Dz.U. 1997 nr 88 poz. 553). This ban, however, does not apply to swastikas that are of a religious nature, including ones used by Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism.
