Mandala is a term for an organizational structure, chart or geometric pattern that represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically, a microcosm of the Universe from the human perspective.
“An integrated structure organized around a unifying center”

CARL JUNG said that a mandala symbolizes “a safe refuge of inner reconciliation and wholeness.”
It is “a synthesis of distinctive elements in a unified scheme representing the basic nature of existence.”
