This paper investigates the cosmic and philosophical significance of the Yantra, an ancient geometric diagram central to Indian Tantric traditions. Combining scholarly insights from Madhu Khanna, B. Frederics, F.W. Bunce, Philip Rowson, Lalan Prasad Sigh and Ajit Mookerjee with an analysis of Indian Neo-Tantra artists such as S.H. Raza, G.R. Santosh, Biren De, P.T. Reddy, O.P. Sharma, Dipak Banerjee, K.C.S. Paniker and Shobha Broota, it explores how Yantras function as sacred maps of consciousness, instruments of ritual energy, and modern spiritual aesthetics. Through an interdisciplinary lens encompassing art history, metaphysics, and cultural criticism, the study reveals the Yantra's enduring role as both visual icon and meditative technology, bridging the esoteric past and contemporary Indian modernism.
