The monks created the Yamantake Mandala from sand. The mandala was preserved and still hangs in the MIA's galleries. This video piece documents the process and ceremony surrounding a fascinating work of art. http://www.artsconnected.org/resource/97182/yamantaka-mandala Copyright Minneapolis Institute of ArtsMinneapolis Institute of Arts
