The Sri Yantra

The Sri Yantra also called Sri Chakra is a beautiful and complex sacred geometry
used for worship, devotion and meditation. It has been in use for thousands of years
and it's origin seems unknown.

The central figure is composed of nine interlocking triangles. Every triangle is

connected to the others by common points and this is the reason why it is so
difficult to draw correctly. Changing the size or position of one triangle often require
changing the position of many other triangles.

After making a few attempts at drawing this figure it became obvious that it's not as
easy as it looks. Given the fact that this is one of the oldest and most recognizable
sacred geometry one would assume that a method for drawing this famous figure
precisely would be easy to find. Not so. The two most famous methods from Indian
origin, shown here and here are very imprecise and/or incomplete. The many
modern techniques in existence will lead to a more accurate figure as shown here.

But after looking carefully at the figures produced by these different techniques one
realizes that they are all different! Was there an original geometry that has been
distorted with time? Is there a way to find out? These are some of the questions that
we will attempt to answer on this site.

Sri Yantra Fast Facts:

The Sri Yantra is a sacred geometry that orginated in India

It is composed of 9 interlocked triangles

It is very difficult to draw without errors at the intersections

There a many variations of the Sri Yantra

There are many different methods to draw it

Nobody seems to know what the original configuration is

There are three main forms of the Sri Yantra: Plane, pyramidal, spherical

Plane

The most common form of the Sri Yantra. The inner nine triangles are
drawn with straight lines and are contained in circles and squares.

Pyramidal (Meru)

This is basically a 3D version of the plane form. The outline formed by the
overlapping triangles are elevated in steps to form a pyramid.

Spherical (Kurma)

This is the rarest and the most difficult to reproduce. The figure is drawn or
sculpted on a dome shape. The triangles are drawn with curved lines
(spherical triangles) making it very difficult to achieve a precise result.
