Om is a sacred syllable found in Eastern religions and often the first word for most Buddhist mantras. Often regarded as the sound of emptiness, Om is the first sound from the beginning of time and also encompasses the present and future. Composed of three sacred syllables Ah, Ooh and Ma, Om (also spelled as Aum) signifies the union of mind, body and spirit. It is chanted to purify negative karma, accumulate merit and pacify the mind.
This carving depicts Om in the Devnagari script (India, Nepal).
