Mandala 22

by RAYMA

Mandalas are a spiritual representation and a ritual of the cosmos. It is also a Sanskrit term mainly used as a ceremonial language in Hindu rituals, as hymns and mantras.

They represent the sacred space, the center of the Universe and the focus point. The mandala is represented by a circle inside of a square shape.

In practice, mandalas may be lineal or figurative, from the cardinal axes that project them. You can divide its parts in internal regions of a circle.

For Buddhists, it functions as meditation, however, the most important process for them is the "creation" because is a journey that shows the experience of the designer and is the connection between man and
divinity.

Drawing and painting mandalas is a therapy, it’s a free design and it has infinite meaning.
