A mandala is a symbol of the universe in its ideal form. Its creation signifies the transformation of a universe of suffering into one of joy. The circles of a mandala represent fullness, wholeness, and infinity. The mandala on this very unique rakhi sits on a copper plate, held together by a crocheted flower. The crochet work is done by the women of Tulsi, a self-help women’s group. It comprises entrepreneurial women who devote every spare moment to creating things of beauty, and supporting themselves with the earnings from their sales. ............................................................................................................................................
