Meaning & origin
Manipura
Also known as: Solar plexus chakra; third chakra
Manipura is the chakra of personal power, will, action, self-esteem, and inner fire.
About this symbol
Manipura is depicted as a yellow ten-petaled lotus with a downward-pointing fire triangle. Symbolically centered at the solar plexus, it is associated with determination, transformation, boundaries, and the capacity to act. In visual compositions, the emblem emphasizes confidence, discipline, purposeful direction, and active energy. Esoteric reading: modern yogic and occult systems use this sign as a meditation mandala for attuning the corresponding subtle-energy center and contemplating its qualities. It is a spiritual map for practice, not an anatomical diagram.
