Music of South Asia
The mandala is both the light and sound body of divinity. Art and architecture replicate god's body as light. Music is the means for replication god's sound-body, called nada-brahman. As in the medieval traditions of Gothic architecture in which the cathedral, as the three-dimensional construction of God's perfect geometrical mind, was the perfect acoustic arena, so Buddhist and Hindu temples are designed to resonate with sacred sound. When the music plays all aspects of the divine are brought into harmony. We can view images of music & dance, and general culture.
