Description
This is a restored copy of the Mandala of the Six Chakravartins, circa 1435. The original is to be found in the Ngor Monastery, Tibet.
In Indian religions, the term chakravarti refers to an ideal universal ruler especially in the sense of an imperial ruler of the entire Indian sub-continent. The first references to a Chakravala Chakravartin appear in monuments from the time of the early Maurya Empire, in the 4th to 3rd century BCE, in reference to Chandragupta Maurya and his grandson Ashoka.
