Chinvat Bridge
The Chinvat Bridge, in Zoroastrian mythology, is a symbolic bridge that souls must cross after death to reach the afterlife. It is believed to be a narrow bridge that spans the divide between the world of the living and the world of the dead. Souls are judged on their actions in life as they cross the bridge, with the righteous easily passing over to paradise while the wicked fall into the abyss below. The Chinvat Bridge serves as a metaphor for the transition from earthly existence to the spiritual realm in Zoroastrian belief.
