"Labyrinth Maze: The Chakravyuha. The Chakravyuh, or Padmavyuh, described in the ""Mahabharata,"" is a multi-tier defensive formation that looks like a blooming lotus (padma, पद्म) or disc (chakra, चक्र) when viewed from above. The warriors at each interleaving position would be in an increasingly tough position to fight. Some people believe it was this formation that gave rise to the labyrinth."
