Hindu draws it on their Pooja room, account books or any good work which they are going to start... They believe that the use of 'Swastik' reduces the negative forces & evil powers & brings positive energy...
In Hinduism, they believe that the 'Swastik' symbol is made with four sides or four lings which are each bent in 90 degrees. It represents four pillars (Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda, Atharvaveda) & philosophy of four Purusarthas in Hinduism which are Dharma(religion), Artha(wealth), Kama(love) & Moksha (liberty).
We can say 'Swastik' is the symbol & blessings of Lord Vishnu, Lord Brahma, Lord Shiva...
