Jawhar Sircar, former CEO of Prasar Bharati, presented on the evolving nature of worship in Hinduism at the India International Centre on 4 March. He discussed the transition from aniconic (symbolic, abstract) to iconic (creation of human or animal forms) worship, using examples like the goddess Chandi and Bengal's folk deity Dharma Thakur.
