A mandala is a geometric design that represents the universe in Hindu and Buddhist symbolism. Traditionally, mandalas are circular and often feature intricate patterns and shapes that radiate from a central point. They are used in various spiritual practices, including meditation and rituals, to promote focus and mindfulness. Mandalas can be created using different materials, such as sand, paint, or paper. In addition to their spiritual significance, they are also appreciated for their artistic beauty. Many people enjoy coloring or creating mandalas as a form of relaxation and self-expression, making them popular in art therapy.
