Zoomable mandalas

The Rubin museum of art currently hosts an exhibition about Mandalas. They are displaying the works as zoomable images, what is really helpful given their wealth of details. Some mandalas have interesting self-similarity properties, like for instance this one, with buddhas of various sizes arranged in geometric patterns. Check also the wrathful deities.
