A round mandala is a traditional geometric design often used in Buddhist and Hindu practices to represent the universe, unity, and infinity. At its center is usually a key figure or symbol, such as a deity or sacred icon, which serves as the focal point for meditation. This central element is surrounded by concentric circles that feature elaborate patterns or symbols, illustrating layers of existence and the interconnectedness of all things. The geometric patterns, including shapes like lotus petals and triangles, hold symbolic meanings related to the universe’s structure and spiritual teachings.
The round and symmetrical nature of the mandala embodies balance, harmony, and the cyclical flow of life, fostering a sense of calm and order. As a tool for meditation and ritual, a round mandala aids practitioners in focusing their thoughts and deepening their spiritual connection.
