Mandala is a concentric diagram having spiritual and ritual significance of Buddhism. Mandala is seen as a microcosm representing various divine powers at work in the universe, and it serves as a collection point of god and universal forces. Figures of deities have specific positions in the diagram, and the symbolism and structure of the Mandala are highly elaborated. Mandala represents a totality of reality, inner or outer philosophies. In the Mandala we designed, the complex drawings or paintings are made which represent various levels of existence of Buddha’s life. It reflects the spirit and philosophies of Buddhism.
