This Mandala is a copy of a 16th century image used in Ayurvedic medicine to understand the relationships between the five elements - Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space (Ether) - each element corresponds to a colour and to one of the five Skandhas (basic aspects of human nature). The diagram is used to aid the diagnosis and treatment of illness and imbalances.
