Not sure since I’ve seen them pointed to the left in India. Wikipedia is not my main source for information; anyone can post to it.

The photos posted there are images from pre-1930 America including postcards from 1908-1920.

You want a pintrest or ebay listing instead?

Sheesh

I was talking about the Western use of the swastika. Not India.

In the West it was a good luck symbol.

Around the world (and not just India) the shape can be found. That was not the point of discussion.

Drawings of faces existed a very long time as well but the yellow smiley face in the West is a post WWII icon.
