Description

Among all Tibetan customs, the best known is that of providing a khatag (or kata), or white scarf, as a sign of welcome. The khatag is an auspicious symbol. It marks a positive note for the beginning of an action or relationship and highlights the good intentions of the person offering it. The khatags are offered to religious representations like the statues of the Buddha, as well as to Lamas and officials. This offering can be also made as a request for help associated with prayers recitation for the benefit of a person or other services. To accompany a request with a khatag denotes that the demand expressed is devoid of personal interests.

Warning

All our objects are handmade. Each piece is unique and it is impossible to reproduce exactly the same. Slight differences may therefore appear in the shapes, proportions, colors and / or materials used in our descriptions and specification sheets.

The silver (metal) used in Nepal is always composed of an amalgam and is most often plated on metal parts. Most of the stores that sell 925 sterling silver products from Nepal are fraudulent!

Likewise, some stones considered semi-precious from Nepal or India are actually stones reconstituted from powder of semi-precious stones, such as turquoise or coral. Nevertheless, they seem to retain the properties of the original stones. In the case where reconstituted stones are used, we always specify it in the specifcation sheeet.
