Oddities that aren’t Mandela effects themselves but tie into the entire theory somewhat etymologically incongruously.

The word Mandala being similar and it’s deep esoteric definition and prevalence across a multitude of cultures.

The Indo variations being the most meaningful. They’re expressions on several layers of experiential reality and goes on to larger cosmological reality along with other non existent (yet to be), past realities, and or existing realities all stacked together simultaneously with several “gates” at different portions giving enlightened beings entry and exit points.

Jungian explanation of them for a western understating of them:

> The mandala serves a conservative purpose—namely, to restore a previously existing order. But it also serves the creative purpose of giving expression and form to something that does not yet exist, something new and unique. [...] The process is that of the ascending spiral, which grows upward while simultaneously returning again and again to the same point.

There’s is something to be said here and I think the introduction of the theory and its examples are less important and the informed inferences one is supposed to connect to be of more importance to understand what exactly is happening when someone experiences a “Mandela effect”. 

Furthermore these older investigations into reality and its experiential significance lends validity to Quantum suicide and the many worlds theory within the field of theoretical science a decent amount of credence.

What a useless thing to write.

Mandalas have constantly shifted either or slightly or greatly even within the Sino-Indo traditions throughout time. For example within Buddhism the Theravada explanation differs a significant amount from the more colorful and expansive Vajrayana interpretation.

That’s just within Buddhism and doesn’t include the multitudes of other explanations in other Indo traditions let alone other non-Indo societies. The overall prevailing similarity is the expression of some grander cosmological work at play that ties in with ones own experiential reality.
