In the Rikava preparation for Christmas, the mandals are formed

On the afternoon of 5 December, children and adults came to mandals in Rikavas. By putting bamboo trees and coloured yarns and forming mandals, each could express their mood.
The former teacher Lilith Kurashaw liked to show them and told them how to create mandals. The fingers moved, the drifts, the mind thought, and the mandals were ready. The joy of the work was great. The children said they had his mandals in the Christmas tree.
The mandals have been built many thousands of years ago and have been used by many cultures. The mandals are circular images, the circle is a space symbol - meaning eternity.
Mandalone Drawing in humans develops concentration abilities, excites excitement, calms, increases human energy, increases activity, removes tension, increases self-respect, the person becomes psychiatric.
All shapes in mandals - circles, rectangles, lines, are interconnected and symbolize full harmony. No strict rules exist for mandals.
