Shri Yantra - Madhubani Painting

Yantra is as known as the ideal meditation tool used by many. Meanwhile, a Shri Yantra is considered one of the most powerful ones as it represents the entirety of the cosmos, making it is known as the Mother of all Yantras. Overlapping hexagrams symbolize the union between male and female aspects of the divine as well as the depth of Tantric practice. The triangles pointed downwards represent the feminine aspect, while those upwards are of the masculine powers. Shri Yantras feature triangles drawn in an ideal geometric measure. This painting features a yellow dot (Bindu) at the center which represents the center of the cosmos. True to a centuries-old tradition, this painting of the Shri Yantra also showcases the principle Golden Proportion (which makes the nine interlocked triangles appear in perfect proportion). These triangles represent the universe, cosmos, and body. The triangles are also within concentric circles composed of lotus petals that represent the vital force of life and the lotus as a sign of purity.

On the corners are images of symbols of mantras such as the OM on the upper right, the most significant syllable in Hinduism representing the sound of the universe? Potted plants are also present. True to Madhubani fashion, this painting features lively colors, with streaks filling the page on thick strokes. Another special feature of this piece is that it is painted on handcrafted paper treated with cow dung. Notice that all parts of the paper are filled with design and detail as leaving no space bare is also a notable feature of Madhubani-style art using non-traditional materials for their pieces.
