Both Hindus and Yezidis share a belief in human reincarnation and transmigration (the belief that a person's soul continues to exist after death and is reborn in another body).

Usually, Hindus and Yazidis pray facing towards the Sun because the Sun is the major cause of life on earth. Both also have special prayers connected with the natural elements and phenomena like the moon, stars, sun, water, etc.

Yazidis temples have pyramid shaped with conical domes just like Hindu temples. These particular domes represent sunrays touching down on Earth in Yazidism.

Areas under Hindu Kings & Emperors at one point or other in history. 🕉️ I wonder if that area in middle east has any connections with Yazidi at that time. 🤔 Because it’s exactly where Yazidis and Kurds live. Or it’s something related to Mitannis and Aryans!

I would like to thank everyone especially our Hindu brothers and sisters for their endless support and love they showed to Yazidis on X.
