Ayurvastra:
Ayurvastra harnesses organic yarns infused with pure dyes made from a precise combination of medicinal herbs, barks, flowers and oils to gently heal and harmonise the mind and body as only plants can. When wearing Ayurvastra dyed yarns against the skin during meditation rituals, the body’s ability to fully benefit from the plant's medicinal properties increases.
Khadi:
Khadi is the art of hand spinning fibres that results in uniquely subtle variations in the meditation shawls in width, density and plant dye absorption. In a world of mass-production, khadi gives villagers the opportunity to earn a Fairtrade income without the need for any outlay other than a spinning wheel and their time. Where a fossil-fuel fed spinning machine might require two operators, the same output through hand spinning yarn would require 100 artisans.
Our Hand-Spun, Temple Blessed Khadi Shawls can vary slightly in size due to the tightness of the weave, but the size is approx. 250 x 90cm.
