Detail of the outer ring of the mandala, representing samsara, ‘our’ world of pain, suffering (desire) and death - a naga serpent lives in the mountain protecting treasure, a stupa is there as well, perhaps representing the role of Buddhism in subduing the elemental forces, making them protectors of the Dharma.
