Sand Mandala - Yamantaka Mandala - Day 9
Tibetan monks create an exquisite sand mandala - the Yamantaka mandala - in Sydney, Australia, December 2008.
Day 9:

The Yamantaka Mandala has reached the stage where only the final surrounding circle, representing samsara, is to be completed.

The outer ring of curlicues in the predominant five colours represents the five elements of wood, fire, earth, water and metal.

Detail of the outer circles, showing the protection ring of the golden vajras, a monkey climbing the pole of the victory banner, and the outer ring of the five elements.
