Why We Do Not Use Social Media Images And Modern Recreations

In recent years, sacred imagery has become widely circulated through social media and digital platforms. While accessibility has increased, source integrity has often been compromised.

Loss Of Provenance

Many online images lack documentation, attribution, or historical context. Without provenance, authenticity cannot be verified.

Modern Alterations

Filters, digital repainting, and reinterpretations often distort original iconography, altering meaning and intent.

Archival Responsibility

Sacred art carries cultural and devotional weight. Responsible reproduction requires verified sources, transparent documentation, and visual restraint.

A Deliberate Choice

By relying only on museums and institutional archives, Aagama Archives ensures continuity, clarity, and respect for original works.
