Vajra is a Sanskrit word meaning both thunderbolt and diamond. Additionally, it is a weapon which is used as a ritual object to symbolize both the properties of a diamond (indestructibility) and a thunderbolt (irresistible force). Photographed by Andy Brown as part of the Arts Council England/Sheffield Libraries project 'The City as Bricolage'. This photograph forms part of a series called 'numinousness' which documents places of worship in Sheffield. Sheffield City Archives reference: X684. |
