In several ancient traditions, the pineal gland is symbolically associated with the "third eye," called the Ajna chakra in some Indian philosophies.

These representations belong to symbolic and spiritual systems, used to describe perception, intuition, or inner consciousness. They are not biological descriptions.

Anatomical research has observed that certain cells of the pineal gland show structural similarities to those of the retina. This type of observation sometimes fuels cultural interpretations, without proving a spiritual meaning.
