[edit] Summary
A Hindu or Indian form of labyrinth with a spiral in its center, sometimes associated with the epic Sanskrit terms "Chakravyuha" or "Padmavyuha".
The overall basic structure of the windings is partially based on a small JPEG image at the http://www.labyrinthos.net/ site, but the geometry and graphic realization is entirely different.
Self-made graphic, created by combining the output of the following two snippets of vector PostScript source code:

% PostScript program to display an Archimedean spiral by approximating
% it with Bezier curves.
%%% Parameters:
% centerx = horizontal coordinate of center of spiral
% centery = vertical coordinate of center of spiral
% rotf = degrees to rotate
/sepwid 20 def % width separating successive turnings of spiral
% incrm = insert a curve point every these degrees
/sweeps swp2 def % number of 360 degree turnings to show
% double - 0 to display single spiral, else double
