Mandala is a Sanskrit word that translates as a sphere or sacred circle, it represents for all people the unity and harmony of the universe through colors and visual and geometric elements.

They are widely used by Hindus and are made with colored sands at the entrance of houses and temples. In the same way, it happens in Tibet where Buddhist monks learn detachment through them.

In this sacred city, when a Mandala is made, it is divided into 4 parts in which four Buddhist monks are in charge of completing the design. Once the beautiful Mandala is finished, it is destroyed and its sand swept away to be stored in a jar and later thrown into a river, in this way it will be integrated back into nature.

Thus the monks learn not to get attached to beautiful material things, seeing them as a process that must be exploited without suffering for it, because in the end everything disappears in the end.
