Kali Yantras

Kali Yantra: sacred geometry and contemplation

A yantra is a sacred diagram used in some Hindu ritual and contemplative settings. Forms, mantras, placement, and methods of worship vary by text and lineage. Not every geometric design circulating online is a traditional ritual yantra.

Geometry and attention

Triangles, circles, lotuses, and enclosing lines may organize a diagram and focus attention. Their precise significance should be explained with reference to a specific source.

Ritual context

Some yantras are installed, consecrated, or used with specific mantras and procedures. Those details should be learned from appropriate tradition-specific sources.
