EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century Yantra of Mahavira, a sacred geometric design used in Jain rituals, showcases the rich artistic heritage of India during the Mughal Empire. The circular composition, painted in opaque watercolor and gold on cotton, is believed to have originated in Delhi or the surrounding regions of Hindustan (India) and Southeast Asia. The intricate design is a stunning display of symmetry and geometry, with interconnected squares and circles, symbolizing the unity and interconnectedness of all things in the universe. Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara or spiritual teacher in Jainism, is depicted at the center of the Yantra, surrounded by various symbols representing the different aspects of his enlightenment. The use of gold and vibrant colors adds a regal and auspicious quality to the artwork. The fabric background, possibly made of cotton, adds a textural element to the piece, making it a true work of art that transcends time and continues to captivate viewers with its intricate design and spiritual significance. This Yantra is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of India and the Mughal Empire, and a reminder of the enduring influence of Jainism on the spiritual and artistic traditions of the region.
