Unique offerings
A mandala is an area to establish a sacred space for ritual that is circular. Pronounced “MUN-dah-lah”, one can be formed as groups of people, the sun, or cleansing rituals. In modern adaptations, a mandala can be a configuration of colourful shapes in the pattern to form a ‘japa’ - a meditative practice including rotations and repetition to clear the mind of negativity and distraction.
