This unisex shawl is designed to be worn during meditation or prayer but is also worn for comfort when there is a chill in the air or used as decoration in the home and on altars. The soft and light fabric has a slight shine. It is hand-printed in terracotta with the Maha Mantra in decorative Sanskrit letters, an attractive contrast that highlights the ancient prayer. These shawls allow people to wrap themselves loosely around the upper body during meditation or for modesty in temples, as head or neck scarves as the 100% natural fabric is decorated with sacred mantras, in the ancient Sanskrit language of India. They are made of renewable jute plant fiber and hand-printed by devotional artisans in India’s cottage industry. These can be also used as an altar cloth, bed covers, and decorative wall hangings.
