Mandala

 

A mandala is a spiritual and symbolic art form that originated in various cultures, including Hinduism and Buddhism. It is a geometric pattern often depicted as a circular design with a center point and radiating shapes and patterns extending outward. Mandalas are used as a tool for meditation, self-discovery, and spiritual growth. Creating or focusing on a mandala is believed to promote relaxation, concentration, and a sense of harmony.

Mandalas can vary in complexity and symbolism. They can be created in various mediums, including drawings, paintings, sculptures, and even as temporary designs made with colored sand. The intricate designs and repetitive patterns in mandalas are believed to represent the universe, wholeness, and the interconnectedness of all things.
