Since childhood , I was very much fascinated about art forms. It might be because of genetics though!!! I used to paint a lot though it never made any sense , yet it used to give me much happiness. I used to love the process of art and the way I used to involve in it. however this fascination faded away just like that because of academic pressure ,NEET preparation , etc. between my art teacher helped in instigating the same old passion of mine and joined a Traditional art course , a course of 6 weeks or so , in which I learnt about Tanjore painting. those were my best days enjoying painting skills with my fellow batchmates. 

         I gave my NEET exam and during summer vacation, started scrolling websites about various art forms and there I saw an art form which included only designs , geometrical forms ,with time I got to know ,it is called as MANDALA ART . Even social medias like Instagram , Pinterest have positively influenced me in knowing about this art form. I used to just keep scrolling pages in Instagram on this and it used to amuse me so much!!

          Mandala art is derived from  the Sanskrit language .It is said that ,it implies to the living of a person ;in the sense, the person stands in the center of mandala and the surrounding circles and various forms of designs are his / her thought process , his /her view about life and his/ her behavioural changes .This pandemic helped me to spend more time on my passion .

      This form of art includes various kinds of designs ranging from petals of a flower to geometrical shapes to simple lines . Mandala art helped me in increasing concentration level and is also a stress buster. It improves a person's mood and also improves hand skills. It also increases our patience level since it is all about intricate designs. However, if this intricate designs are absent , it loses its beauty . Mandala art is all about intricate designs . It increases the creativeness and also soothes the artist. Though, the sad reality is that, there are no much exhibition centres to exhibit this kind of art form . It might be because of insufficient knowledge about mandala art .Therefore , mandala artists themselves come forward and help to put forth various kinds of exhibitions. There was an instance where I got this opportunity through Instagram to showcase my mandala arts and the very next day  I texted the respective authority , and he told that the entry fees was only Rs.500 . I was excited that I could showcase my thing to many others .He even mentioned me that the last date to pay the entry fees was extended to 2 more days. I was elated seeing that .Unfortunately ,my bank account had only about Rs.1500 in which I had to book ticket to come home due to the second wave of covid-19. I texted my father after a day and told him to transfer me Rs.500 , he transferred the money to my account but my another mind questioned me is it really necessary to you to spend Rs.500 for this fest? I took a step back and thought about it for some time, and I made up my mind to join this fest just for an experience but to my bad luck ,the entry date was terminated and I couldn't participate. The same day I made up mind not to leave the opportunity where I can exhibit my mandala arts. 

         Just enjoy the process of art and just let your mind wander into more positive things!!!

HAPPY READING FOLKS!!!!
