in Kathmandu working on a peace mandala.
INDIA - Mandalas are one of the oldest holy art forms known to humanity; the basic design, the circle and centre, represents completeness.The designs can help guide any person seeking happiness and fulfilment because they assist the seeker to wholeness and contentment. There was complete stillness when I stepped into the Mandala Thanka Painting School in Thamel; dozen artists were working on patterns, forms, colours and shapes on silk fabrics. [link]
