(definition of "mandala" from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Mandala (literally, circle in Sanskrit) is of Hindu origin, but is also used in Buddhist context, to refer to various tangible objects. In practice, mandala has become a generic term for any plan, chart, or geometric pattern which represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically, a microcosm of the universe from the human perspective.
A mandala, especially its center, can be used during meditation as an object for focusing the attention. The symmetrical geometric shapes which mandalas tend to have, draw the attention of the eyes towards their center. Psychiatrist Carl Jung saw the mandala as a representation of the unconscious self. His paintings of mandalas enabled him to identify disorders, and achieve wholeness in personality. (Jung in Memories, Dreams, Relections, pp. 186-197)

This is very beautiful! I love the busy lines in outer circle. Colouring is smooth and warm.
