Nepal Buddhist Ritual Silk Blend Scarf - Khata/Kata/Katha 6 ft Long Boudenat
Approx 6 feet long / 2m Khata is an informal term and Jael-dhar is the formal term, for traditional Buddhist offering scarf.
Khatas are made of cotton, silk or other materials.
They look more like a long scarf and have auspicious symbols or mantras inscribed or woven into the fabric.
It represents the sincerety of ones offering, with no negative thoughts or motives in mind.
They come predominantly in shades of white or ivory, due to the purity of the color but you will also find them in Blue, Red, Green and Yellow / Gold Yellow.
It is a part of Buddhist way of life from birth to death and between.
It is also used as a sign of recognition of one's love or respect for another.
The offering of Khata is probably one of the most well known customs of Buddhist culture.
Something that one could call a Busshist bouquet, that is very reusable and one specific Khata may travel the world over.
