What is a mandala?

Symbols used for ritual and meditation purposes, which are thought to symbolize the structure of the universe in Hinduism and Buddhism, are called mandalas. Mandala simply means 'circle' in Sanskrit. Looking at the origin of the word, “Manda” refers to energy or essence, and “La” refers to the concept of vessel; Mandala, on the other hand, can be defined as the "container that stores/contains energy".

Mandala is a Sanskrit word meaning "circle". Mandalas have been used in various spiritual and religious traditions for thousands of years, particularly in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Native American cultures. They are symbolic representations of the universe, often used for meditation and ritual purposes. The use of mandalas spread from India to other parts of Asia and eventually to the West, where they became popular in art and psychology. Mandalas can be simple geometric shapes or complex, detailed designs and can be created through various mediums including painting, drawing, and sand painting.
