Maya (Sanskrit): the mistaken belief that a symbol is the same as the reality that it represents.
The example means that disbelievers are wrong because they think that the reality is foreseen with the help of symbols.
I decided to start my research from internet. The symbols below are representing a male and female but the male or the female are not present. Symbols can be objects, characters, ideas or concepts.

While researching I came across the following website

I think this website can give my group a lot of ideas. Some of the pictures from this website are:-
I think the subject has a wide angle to research on. The research may lead to various directions. In a group while discussing the subject we all came up with different approaches towards the Maya (Sanskrit). One idea was to animate a tiger/lion that wakes up from sleep and walks towards a lake and happens to see another tiger/lion in water (reflection) and jumps into water to attack. A little storyboard based on reflection. Everyone in our group thought it was a good idea and we all have started working on it.
