Mudra meaning
Mudra (मुद्रा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
A seal or stamp; a sacred hand gesture; a mark or token
Also used to mean: sign
Mudra (मुद्रा) is the Sanskrit mudrā, first a seal or signet ring and the impression it leaves, then any stamp, mark or token, a stamped coin, and a pass granted under seal. Monier-Williams also gives it as one of the positions or intertwinings of the fingers used in religious worship, and as a dance in keeping with convention. These hand gestures are central to Bharatanatyam and other classical dances and to yoga and meditation. Name lists give gesture or sign, matching the dictionary. The name appeals especially to families with a love of dance.
