"Mandala" is a Sanskrit word that means circle. It is a spiritual and ritual symbol representing the universe .The circular designs symbolize the idea that life is never ending and everything is connected.
Now this might be sounding like a very complex drawing but it is quite easy.
In India rangolis and mehndi designs are also forms of Mandalas.
