Mandala Meaning

In their most basic form, mandalas are circles contained within a square and arranged into sections that are all organized around a single, central point.

Mandalas are believed to represent different aspects of the universe and are used as instruments of meditation and symbols of prayer most notably in China, Japan, and Tibet.

A mandala, derived from the Sanskrit word for “circle” or “discoid object,” is a geometric design that holds profound symbolism in Hindu and Buddhist cultures.
