Mandala Art

Mandalas were created in the service of one of the world's great religions, Buddhism.
They were produced in Tibet, India, Nepal, China, Japan, Bhutan, and Indonesia and
date from the 4th century to present.
Mandala art form uses mathematical phenomena such as shapes, position symmetry,
proportion and measurement lines while drawing.
Mandalas translate complex mathematical expressions into simple shapes and forms.
They show how the basic patterns governing the evolution of life workout the most
beautiful results. The word mandala arises from the Sanskrit and means sacred circle.
Parallelism and symmetry, too, are widely used in mandala art. Mandala art also uses
mathematical tools to get accuracy. Even the most abstract of works often conform to
a mathematical logic. Each part of the painting appearing in such a way as to create a
coherent and harmonious whole.
Conclusion
Mandalas are rich in mathematics, as it uses circle
geometry, conic sections, reflective and rotational
symmetry, fractals, and other geometric shapes to
make visually appealing artworks.
Learning outcome-
• Mandala art increases patience, concentration
and focus.
• It creates better understanding of mathematical
concepts such as circles, conic sections,
symmetry, angles etc.
