Yantra is the Sanskrit word for a mystical diagram from the Tantric traditions of the Indian religions. The word “yantra” derives from the root “yam,” meaning to sustain, hold or support the energy inherent in a particular element, object, or concept. They can be drawn on paper, wood, metal, or earth, or they can be three-dimensional. It was during the Tantric Renaissance period (AD 700-1200) that the use of mystic symbols was fully revived.
