Hindu Stained Glass

While stained glass is traditionally associated with Christianity, it can also be used to make beautiful windows for other religious traditions. If you browse around our religious window galleries, you'll see that we've also been commissioned to make windows for Jewish and Buddhist projects.

Looking around online, it looks like there's a small but growing trend of making stained glass windows of Hindu themes. The most popular figure, by far, seems to be the elephant-headed god, Ganesh. Here are some links to depictions of Ganesh on other sites:

  1. Ganesh stained glass
  2. Ganesh window and free pattern
  3. Ganesh and some other stained glass images


Hinduism has one of the world's longest and richest traditions of making religious art. There are all kinds of incredible statues, temples, paintings and much more to draw from. If you're interested in commissioning a Hindu stained glass window, we'd love to help. Contact us to bring your project to life.
