What is Mandala Art?
Create beauty and find inner peace with mandala art
In the ancient Sanskrit language of Hinduism and Buddhism, mandala means
“circle.” Traditionally, a mandala is a geometric design or pattern that
represents the cosmos or deities in various heavenly worlds. “It’s all
about finding peace in the symmetry of the design and of the universe,”
says artist Saudamini Madra.
People in different cultures all over the world have created mandalas,
suggesting that the form speaks to something deep within every human
being. The brilliant psychoanalyst Carl Jung believed that the mandala
represents the Self and that drawing a mandala gives a person a sacred
space to meet that Self. He considered making mandalas an effective form
of art therapy, helping to calm and comfort people struggling with
mental health issues.
