| Abstract |
Mandala is a Sanskrit word verbally meaning a circle. This word as a special name refers to geometrical shapes such as squares and circular patterns or a combination of both of them which in ancient hindu and buda tradition is used as saint geometry for construction of temples and artistic and religious building. Intention to a strong and symmetrical geometry as cosmogram is not limited to one tribe or religious tradition. We can observe the appearance of mandala in the most primitive religious cities and building constructed by the human being including the pyramids and zygotes to design and combination of contemporary religious building.
