The word “mandala” comes from the Sanskrit term meaning “circle.” Mandalas symbolize harmony, unity, and completeness. They are used across spiritual, psychological, and artistic traditions to represent the self and the cosmos.
Psychological Significance
Renowned psychologist Carl Jung viewed mandalas as a reflection of the human psyche. Drawing or coloring mandalas helps individuals connect with their inner selves and find balance amidst chaos.
