  1. Priyadarshini Bora

    The binding could be better. I’m afraid it will fall apart with heavy use. Content-wise, it is invaluable for my research.

  2. Devyani Mehrotra

    I’m very impressed with the depth and breadth of this dictionary. A must-have for anyone studying comparative religion or mythology.

  3. Aditya Kumar Jaiswal

    Extremely useful for interpreting art and literature. I have learned so much! I am thrilled to add it to my collection and reread.

  4. Aryan Chouhan

    Excellent book! It has significantly improved my understanding of symbolism in literature and art. It is easy to navigate and well written.

  5. Rohit Batra

    While informative, I felt it lacked a certain depth. The definitions were somewhat simplistic, not reaching far enough into the origins.

  6. Anurag Raj

    A useful addition to my library, but not as user-friendly as I expected. The definitions could be clearer, in my opinion.

  7. Gaurav Kumar

    It is not what I expected. The organization is a bit confusing. I will keep it for my collection, but I probably won’t use it much.

  8. Khushi Agarwal

    A helpful resource for understanding symbols, but it can be a bit overwhelming at times. So many entries! Still, I learned a lot.

  9. Abhijith S

    I was hoping for a more straightforward dictionary. Some of the entries are a bit too academic for casual reading. Good resource, but dense.

  10. Bishnu Prasad Tripathy

    The paper quality could be better. Other than that, the content is top-notch, and I learned some interesting things. Good book overall.

  11. Mayank Kumar Singh

    This book is brilliant! It’s clearly written and easy to understand. I find it engaging and very educational. I highly recommend.

  12. Piyush Bhanwal

    A good starting point, but not exhaustive. I found myself needing to consult other sources. Fine for beginners to symbolism.

  13. Dhruv Singh

    Comprehensive and well-researched. It’s a great reference tool for writers and anyone interested in mythology. I wish it was organized better.

  14. Gungun

    A fascinating deep dive into symbolism. I’ve been using it for my art projects. I find it to be helpful and insightful.

  15. Sachdev Darshit Manishkumar

    A fantastic reference book! It’s a comprehensive and insightful guide to the world of symbols. I use it all the time, and I love it.

  16. Kuldeep Singh

    This dictionary is pretty good, but I wish there were more visual examples alongside the symbol explanations. I like it though.

  17. Ankit Singh Gurjar

    It did not meet my needs. This is a decent overview, but lacks the nuance I need for my work. I would not recommend it for experts.

  18. Anish Dutta

    A bit too dense and academic for my liking. I was hoping for something more accessible. I can see why others find it helpful, though.

  19. Tushar Singh Gujar

    This is a wonderful resource for anyone interested in the meaning behind the images and signs we see every day. Highly recommended!
