Synagogue and Swastika's
Only in Asia could you see a Synagogue and Swastika's side by side. Fort Cochi in Kerala was once a prosperous trading port. It has been a Portuguese, Dutch and British outpost, and there has been a Jewish presence throughout. The synagogue in Jew Town was built in 1568.

Provocative Swastika
I have travelled around Asia enough to be used to seeing Swastika's everywhere. It has been used by Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism long before 1933.
The tilt of this swastika and colour scheme though is more Nazi than Eastern Religious.

Architecture you won't see in the west.
The swastika was associated with Buddhism long before it was misappropriated by Nazi Germany.
Swastikas can be found all over Vietnam on Pagodas (temples) and on Buddha himself.
