About the Artform

The Sri Yantra is the purest form of a mandala. A 'yantra' literally means a device. The Sri Yantra is thus a device for spiritual advancement. It consists of 9 interlocking triangles that surround a central point called the 'Bindu'. Since it has 9 triangles, it is also called the 'Navayoni Chakra'. Each triangle represents genesis and the formation of the human body. The interlocking triangles further form 43 smaller triangles.
