Film "Chakra" symbolically tells the story of creation. This story is in Vedas - ancient Indian sacred manuscripts. These are perhaps the most ancient ones in the world. The word "chakra", in Sanskrit, means "wheel" and is used in such concepts as "wheel of knowledge", "wheel of wisdom", "wheel of life". The symbol of the wheel of life denotes the idea of perpetual evolutionary (spiral) movement of life with return to initial state. The act of creation can be imagined as an act of "setting the wheel in motion" by spiritual power of God. In the film, you can see symbols of four metaphysic elements - air, water, fire and earth - everything have been created from them. Visualisation of ancient manuscript is combined with abhinaya - language of gestures used in Indian classical dance.
