Mandala is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the universe. A mandala is a symbol of the universe in its ideal form, and its creation signifies the transformation of a universe of suffering into one of joy. It can also be used as an aid to meditation, helping the meditator to envision how to achieve the perfect self.
