Yantras are geometrical designs of various types, loaded with
symbolism and spiritual significance, employed in various
sequences of worship.
Its hard to believe but there are more than nine hundred
yantras.
The painting of this Balshaka yantra is a simple diagram
comprising of a bindu placed in a red triangle. The triangle is
pointing
downwards, representing the goddess (yoni). A yellow hexagon
encloses the
triangle, itself lying within a green circle. Taking all these
geometric
shapes in its fold is the eight petalled lotus. The lotus has
much importance
in Hindu and Buddhist pantheon as it symbolizes self creation.
Finally, on the
outskirts is a square opening out in the middle of each side as
four
portals.
The brightness of pure four portals is balanced by the black and
white border proclaiming the symbol 'Aum'.
