Mandala is a Sanskrit word meaning circle that represents the cosmos in Hindu and Buddhist traditions.

Yantra are pictorial or numeric mandalas that use geometric shapes like circles, squares, and triangles to represent natural elements and energies. Magic squares are numeric yantras where the sums of all rows, columns, and diagonals are equal. Kolam are geometric line drawings made using rice powder that are believed to bring prosperity when drawn outside homes in Southern India each morning.

A Yantra is a form of mandala,
and there are two types of Yantra: - A pictorial Yantra, which is a symbolic diagram, usually used to assist meditation - Magic Square, or numerological Yantras.

Yantra is the Sanskrit word for "instrument" or "machine".
Much like the word "instrument" itself, it can stand for symbols, processes, automata, machinery or anything that has structure and organization, depending on context.

Kolams are thought to bestow prosperity to homes.
Every morning in southern India, millions of women draw kolams on the ground with white rice powder. Through the day, the drawings get walked on, rained out, or blown around in the wind; new ones are made the next day.
