Buddha monk draws with sand over a month Mandala (Mandara)

I use a stick-like tool like a pile to drop sand little by little, drawing a precise mandala.

It is a work that seems to be rather patient as it can not inadvertently sigh.

Details are as below.

At first there is nothing table.


I will gradually drop the sand using a metal rod.




I began making it, after a week or so.


It is not completed yet.


I made it up. There is no disorder even though it is small.


The tool you are using.


Also fine tuning fine.


It was completed in about a month from the beginning.


It was dismantled after being exhibited for about 2 months.


The sand was drained by the water.


Mandala made in honor of Dalai Lama's 70th birthday. You can see how to make sandy mandalas.
