RELAXATION MANDALA

This is the coloured relaxation mandala. Now it is quite likely that you are thinking, “What is relaxation mandala? And how is it different from the other mandalas?” Well I have also posted MULTI-COLOUR MANDALA. But this mandala is different from the others because when you design it it improves concentration and calms down our minds, not only that but even when you simply colour this type of a mandala it acts as a temporary stress reliever. In this particular relaxation mandala the theme is of the special vegetation and more over most recognised wildlife of my dear motherland – India. In the centre I have designed the ashoka- chakra but it has been drawn four times-Why? I have kept the entire design in four theme that is a square because I also wanted to depict the National Emblem of the Republic of India which is a four-sided and four-headed lion which faces the north , south, east and the west known for Satyameva Jayate. Infact I have designed the entire mandala in honour of our National Emblem. The best part of the mandala is the perfect synchronization of our National Emblem along with Tiranga- The Indian National Flag, the Ashoka-Chakra; which a part of our flag, the Lotus– our national flower, the Bengal Tiger– our national animal, the Peacock – our national bird, the Asian Elephant – our cultural symbol; the importance of Lord Ganesha in Indian’s life and the Indian King Cobra– often depicted with Lord Shiva ( the father of Lord Ganesha ) as Vasuki and Lord Vishnu as Adhishesha/Shesha/Sheshanaga and is worshipped as a symbol of wisdom, changes, enchantment, hypnosis, protectiveness, danger, poison, determination, fear, strength, courage, confidence, transformation, royalty, death. They are also a symbol of speed, defensiveness, and gracefulness. I hope you enjoyed learning about our Indian Culture !!!
