Hailing from the cultural realm of India, the mandala serves as a meditation aid and at the same time reflects an ancient symbolism of strictly geometric basic forms accompanied by an interpretation of its sacred content. In his book author, photographer and exhibition curator Peter van Ham offers an impressive first analysis of the phenomenon of sacred geometry in art and architecture and their underlying ideologies.
