Three Ways to Begin — Pick What Suits You
Option 1
The 2-Hour Experiential Workshop
Your First Step Into Mandala Art
The best way to know if something is for you — is to try it.
The 2-Hour Experiential Workshop is a complete, standalone session designed for absolute beginners. You come with no experience. You leave with a mandala you drew yourself, an understanding of the ancient patterns behind it, and a calm you did not expect.
This is not a demo or a preview. It is a full, real experience — packed into two focused hours.
What happens in the session:
- A brief introduction to Mandala Art and the ancient science behind it
- Step-by-step guided drawing — from the first circle to a complete mandala
- Understanding the meaning of the pattern you just created
- A gentle closing reflection

Option 2
Certified Program5-Day Certified Mandala Art Program
Learn 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.
The 5-Day Certified Mandala Art Program 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 will learn and create:
- 4 types of Mandala Art — each rooted in a different ancient pattern and meaning
- 5 complete Mandala paintings — drawn by your own hand across the 5 days
- How ancient Indian science is encoded in geometric art — in simple, accessible language
- How to use this practice for calm, focus, and creativity in daily life
What you take home: Your 5 completed mandala paintings are presented as finished artistic products — ready to display, gift, or keep. The total value of what you create is worth more than ₹25,000.
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 3
14-Day One-on-One Course
Personalised. At Your Pace. Built Around You.
This is the most personal learning experience at Varaaz Arts.
The 14-Day One-on-One Course 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 one-on-one courses are the same. Because no two people are the same.
This format is ideal if:
- You want dedicated, personal attention throughout
- You have a specific goal — therapeutic, artistic, or professional
- You want to learn at your own schedule without fitting into group timings
- You are a professional wanting to use mandala art in your own work
What makes it different:
- Personal intake before the course begins — your goals, your pace, your focus areas
- Every session designed specifically for you — not a standard curriculum
- Direct feedback and guidance from Varalakshmi after every session
- Flexible scheduling — sessions at times that work for you
- A complete personal mandala journal by the end
