Yantra is also a yoga technique, see Tantra.

Yantra literally means Loom, 'Instrument or Machine'. In actual practice a Yantra is a symbolic representation of aspects of divinity, usually the Mother Goddess. It is an interlocking matrix of geometric figures, circles, triangles and floral patterns that form fractal patterns of elegance and beauty. Though drawn in two dimensions, a Yantra is supposed to represent a three dimensional sacred object. Three-dimensional Yantras are now becoming increasingly common. Although the Yantra is primarily a meditation tool both for serious spiritual seekers as well as sculptors in the classical tradition, its Shakti is also available to new seekers with sincere devotion and good intention.

Since time immemorial, it is believed that mystical Yantras reveal inner basis of forms and shapes abounding in the universe. Yantras function as revelatory symbols of cosmic truths.
