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.

About the workshop

The workshop is very extensive and will stretch across 6 hours. The 6 hours will be covered across 2 days. Each step of making the Sri Yantra will be broken down into its most elementary parts. The metaphorical meaning of each part of the yantra and the significance of the Sri Yantra will be provided in the form of a PDF after the workshop is done for further guidance.
