Here, we have some basic Mandala coloring pages. Mandala is basically an Asian art form which derives from traditional religions in the region. Buddhism, Hinduism and other Asian religions venerate the Mandala art form.

Mandala art usually is symmetrical and includes various rings and a center area. The purpose of Mandala is to encourage meditation and spirituality - nothing wrong with that! However, there are no firm rules for mandala. It is used in various contexts in Asia, for instance, mandala is used as part of the Tibetian burial ritual. So, mandala has a practical purpose, and learning about mandala and appreciating its visual qualities is a very useful and broadening thing to do.

So, you do not have to be a religious scholar to become interest in Mandala art. All you need is an appreciation of figures that are relaxing and pleasing to the eye. Don't worry, looking at Mandala art will not turn you into a zombie or a mystic! All it is intended to do is be soothing and enjoyable.

So, grab your trusty colored pencils or crayons or colored pens and let loose the Kraken! Er, I mean let loose the artist that lies deep within you, begging to be set free as you unleash your artistic impulses upon an unwary world!
