I don't really know anything about yantras, but I do find them

intriguing, and *amazingly* beautiful!

 

The following site (which has some very nice images),

defines "yantra" as

 

"[a] Geometrical representation of [a] deity"

A cursory google search indicates others would define or describe

these diagrams using different terms.

 

And on my book wishlist is the following.....

 

Yantra: The Tantric Symbol of Cosmic Unity

by Madhu Khanna

Paperback: 176 pages

Publisher: Inner Traditions International; (October 1, 2003)

ISBN: 0892811323

 

See the editorial reviews of this book at Amazon for more (basic)

discussion of yantras.
