General definition (in Hinduism)
Source: Academia.edu: Bhadramaṇḍalas: Invoking Divinities in Smārta RitualBhadramaṇḍala (भद्रमण्डल).—Bhadramandalas are coloured square diagrams constructed by brahmins of the Smarta tradition for temporary use. The construction of bhadramandalas is described in contemporary ritual handbooks used by priests. However, the most comprehensive compendium is the 19th-century Bhadramartanda, which forms chapter 17 of the 6th section of the Brihajjyotisharnava, compiled by Harikrishna in 1871. The chapter describes as many as 76 types of bhadramandalas.
Bhadramandalas can be classified as mandalas for either Vishnu, Shiva, Gauri, Ganesha, or Surya, the ones for Vishnu and Shiva being most commonly used.
