Mandala art has many benefits. It is believed that creating or colouring mandala designs can reduce stress, promote relaxation and serve as a form of art therapy. It is with this idea in mind that TANKER Foundation Trustee, Mrs. Sudha Lakshmi Rao, generously donated mandala art books containing designs that she had created, and colouring material, to all the dialysis units.

This thoughtful initiative is for the patients and attendants to engage in colouring activities that promote relaxation, positivity and improved mental well-being, which is very much needed for dialysis patients and their care-givers.

The donation took place Monday, March 2, 2026, at the admin office in T. Nagar, Chennai.

The mandala books that Mrs. Sudha Lakshmi Rao donated contain designs she had personally created.

Apart from generously donating two mandala books to each of the 15 dialysis units of TANKER Foundation, she packed a punch with two sketch pen packs and one colour pencil pack to each of the 15 units.

She also provided mandala art books to the admin office and awareness team of TANKER.
