A mandala is a sacred geometric pattern used in Hinduism, Buddhism, and other spiritual traditions to symbolize the universe and spiritual journey. It typically consists of a central focal point, which might be a deity, symbol, or sacred concept, surrounded by a series of elaborate, symmetrical patterns such as circles, squares, and triangles. These designs represent the interconnectedness, harmony, and balance of the cosmos.
Mandalas are employed in meditation and rituals to help practitioners concentrate, connect with deeper spiritual insights, and visualize spiritual concepts. The mandala’s intricate and symmetrical design also serves as a form of artistic expression, reflecting the creator’s understanding of the divine.
