## Caption

🌍 We’re zooming into Jambudvipa—the human and animal world in the Kalachakra Tantra.

📜 In this panel:
▫️ Tibetan regions shown as symbolic squares
💧 River Shita splits the land
🔮 North of it? The mythical kingdom of Shambhala in a mandala-like circle
⛰️ And up top: the mountains beyond sacred Mount Kailash

Follow along as we take a look at each of the sections of an illustration of Kalachakra Cosmology from the Kalachakra Tantra, and visit the link in our bio to learn more about this artwork from our #SpiralMagazine 2025 Interdependence issue. 

On our next episode, we’ll dive deeper into the land of Shambhala.
