FAQs

Structure & symmetry: mandalas are often made up of repeated shapes and patterns radiating from a central point, which brings a calming, meditative quality to the process. A tool for mindfulness: creating or colouring mandalas helps quiet the mind, focus attention, and reduce stress — making it a powerful form of active meditation. A reflection of the inner self: each mandala is unique and can reflect your emotions, energy, and intention at the time of creation. Used across cultures: while rooted in ancient Hindu and Buddhist traditions, mandalas appear in various cultures — from Tibetan thangka paintings to Native American sand art.
Mandala art is a spiritual and artistic practice that involves creating geometric patterns, usually arranged in a circular form. The word "mandala" comes from Sanskrit and means “circle” — symbolising wholeness, unity, and harmony.
