Mandnas: Element-Balancing Folk Art and How to Make Them
A mandna is a traditional drawn figure whose shape and colours pull cosmic energy and create a field of energy, so each element has its own mandna to balance an imbalanced zone. They work in industrial, commercial and residential buildings.
What it does
Balance the five elements without construction changes.
Where
Wall of the zone whose element is imbalanced
Samagri used
- Water-based paint (traditionally juices of leaves)
- Wall, MDF sheet or canvas
- Printed or laser-made mandna designs
See every other use of:
How to do it
- 1Identify the imbalanced element and its zone
- 2Choose the mandna of that element
- 3Make it on the wall with water-based paint, or on MDF or canvas; a printed and framed design also works
- 4Put mandnas that contain a swastik or Om on the wall, never on the floor
Cautions
- Never make mandnas with swastik or Om on the floor
- Do not alter the lines and dots; each is arranged by a system
Explanation and notes
Mandnas are an ancient tradition; tribal families still draw white mandnas on their walls, and they connect directly with cosmic energy whether people know it or not. Traditionally they were made with leaf juices, which is not practical now. Rangoli is made on the floor; an element-balancing rangoli in front of the door sends positive energy into the house, and each direction has its own rangoli. Printed, framed mandnas on canvas are a low-cost way to help people.

Mirror (Darpan) as Mangal: Water Element and the Right Walls
The mirror is one of the eight mangal items (ashtamangal) and is considered the best of them; it drives away negative energy and reflects energy when placed in the right direction. It represents the water element and the Moon, so it belongs on the North or East wall.

Mirror in the Cash Box (Galla) and Wallet to Multiply Income
A mirror placed for income (aay) increases income: people keep a small mirror in the wallet or fix mirrors inside the galla or tijori so the money appears multiplied.
Remedy
Convex and Concave Mirrors to Correct a Cut or an Extension
As taught in class, a convex mirror makes a small space look bigger and extends it, while a concave mirror makes a big space look smaller; so a convex mirror treats a cut and a concave mirror treats an extension. A plain mirror can also extend a cut.
Principle
Mirror Shapes: Avoid Triangular, Pointed and Broken-Piece Mirrors
Square and rectangular mirrors are very good, but triangular and pointed-end mirrors are harmful, and mirrors cut into small pieces for scenery or glass temples (kaanch mandir) turn an auspicious item into an inauspicious one.
Principle
No Mirror-Polish Floor Tiles from South to West or in the Brahmasthan
A mirror deepens the surface it is on: on a wall it makes the space look extended, on the floor it creates a pit. Highly reflective tiles, marble or stone must not be used in the South to West zones or the Brahmasthan.

Mirror on the Brahmasthan Ceiling to Open It to the Sky
A mirror on the ceiling of the Brahmasthan is very good because it makes the ceiling open to the sky; this is why old chandeliers (jhoomar) had mirror bases.
Remedy
Balancing a South Mirror with an Equal Mirror on the North Wall
In a dressing room or bathroom mirrors should go on the North or East walls. If a wash basin is already in the South and its mirror must be there, fix a mirror of the same size on the North wall to balance it.
