This mandala is a geometric floral mandala, characterised by symmetrical patterns with elements evoking petal shapes and curves.
Mandalas have a rich and deep history that goes back thousands of years. The word “mandala” comes from Sanskrit and means “circle.” However, in the spiritual and artistic context, a mandala is much more than a simple circular shape; it represents the universe, balance, and harmony. Mandalas have been used in various traditions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and, in some cases, Christianity. In Tibetan Buddhism, for instance, the creation of mandalas is a meditative process that seeks to express the transient nature of life, as they are crafted with colored sands and then destroyed to symbolize impermanence.
