Cosmic Mandala is hand painted by in Nepal. Cosmic mandalas are the intricate dance of the sun, moon, and other planets around Mount Meru (the axis of the geocentric universe).
There are several thangka paintings that feature mount Meru (also called “Sumeru”) with different designs. It is often represented with geometric shapes that are symbols of the different metaphysical state of the mind according to traditional Tibetan Buddhism.
In this case, the mountain is seen from the sky and appears as a small point decorated with an “om” symbol in the center of the mandala.
