Programs
Every course at Varaaz Arts teaches you mandala art the way it was always meant to be understood — as an art form rooted in ancient patterns, Vedic science, and the quiet intelligence of nature.
You will learn to draw. You will also grow.

Most mandala art classes teach you to copy a pattern.
At Varaaz Arts, you learn why the pattern exists — what it means, where it comes from, how it connects to nature, the human body, and ancient Indian science.
This makes everything different.
You do not just draw — you understand what you are drawing. And that understanding turns a skill into a practice. A practice that calms your mind, sharpens your focus, and stays with you long after the session ends.
Whether you are here to pick up a new skill, reconnect with your creativity, or find something that genuinely helps you slow down — you are in the right place.
No experience needed. No art background required. Just bring curiosity.
Is This for You?
The Varaaz Difference
In most workshops, you learn to draw a mandala pattern and go home. At Varaaz Arts, Mandala is the vehicle — a sacred geometric framework that holds other art forms inside it.
You will draw Warli folk stories inside a mandala. You will lay Tanjore gold work on a sacred circle. You will let watercolours flow along geometric petals.
Each session teaches you two things at once — the art skill and the mandala structure that gives it sacred meaning and form.
This is not just art education. It is a specialisation — one you can teach, sell, and build a life around.
Your Journey
Your first touch. Draw your first mandala and feel what this art can do — no experience needed.
Go deeper. Warli, Tanjore, Watercolour and more begin to open up inside the mandala framework.
Bring it all together. A complete mandala work that reflects your unique voice and the journey you took.
Courses
Option 1
Certified ProgramLearn With Others. Go Deeper Together.
This is a certified program. Every participant receives a Certificate of Completion from Varaaz Arts upon finishing the 5 days.
Mandala Art Mastery is for those who want more than one session — a real beginning, with time to practice, absorb, and grow alongside other learners.
Over five days, you progress through a carefully designed series of mandalas — each one building on the last. You learn the patterns, the meaning behind them, how they connect to the body and nature, and how to make this a daily practice.
What you take home: Your 5 completed mandala paintings are presented as finished artistic products — ready to display, gift, or keep.
You pay for the course. You leave with art that is worth far more.
Many students who complete this course go on to discover their own unique mandala style — teaching friends and family, creating art for sale, running small workshops, or building a meaningful part-time income.

Option 2
Personalised. At Your Pace. Built Around You.
This is the most personal learning experience at Varaaz Arts.
Mandala Mentorship is designed entirely around you — your level, your pace, your interests, and what you want to get out of the learning. Before the course begins, Varalakshmi takes time to understand who you are and what you need — and then designs your 14 days accordingly.
No two mentorships are the same. Because no two people are the same.

Ask VaralakshmiWhat Students Say
"15 days went like a jet. I could see so much difference in my body transformation. I could feel myself being calm. I loved learning the concepts behind each mandala art and its explanation which relates to science and body. I am completely overwhelmed with my journey."
"As I began the course, the understanding dawned within this beautiful science — the connections with the cosmos, the physical being, and the mind. It has helped me silence my thoughts and connect with nature through the language of signs and symbols. Sleep pattern is better. This is just the beginning."
"The experience was so profound and deep. It was like my Mandalas are talking to me. And I was at peace while doing the activities guided by them."
"Their knowledge, patience, and kind guidance made the journey into geometry, mandala, and art therapy so enriching and beautiful. Grateful for the deep insights, peaceful vibes, and the creative energy we all shared."
A Word From Your Teacher
Teaching is where I find my purpose.
When a student draws their first complete mandala and looks up with that expression — the one that says something just shifted — I feel it too. Every single time.
This art changed my life. It gave me stillness when I was restless, clarity when I was lost, and a purpose I did not know I was searching for. I teach it because I genuinely believe it has something to offer every person who comes to it.
You do not need to be artistic. You do not need any background. You just need to show up — and I will take you from there, wherever there is for you.
"Every person who learns this art carries it forward in their own way. That is how ancient knowledge stays alive."
FAQ

Yes. All workshops and courses are available on Zoom and work just as well online. Students join from across India and internationally.
Absolutely. The 2-hour workshop is a great first step — the 5-day course takes you further from there.
The 14-Day One-on-One Course is ideal — Varalakshmi can design the learning specifically around your professional context and goals.
You do not need to be ready. You do not need to know what you are doing.
