The swastika Sanskrit word derived from su ("good") and

is a symbol found in Eurasia, Africa, Oceania,
America (pre-Columbian and Native American) and the Far East.
His appearance is from the Neolithic period.
In Asia, especially in India, it is still a ubiquitous
symbol.
It symbolizes, among other senses, the popular god Ganesh.
In the West the swastika has unfortunately been
adopted as the emblem
by the Nazis and has acquired a strong negative connotation.
