Sunitha Versatile Handmade Cotton Roundie

Indian artisan Osho Maharaja presents this stunning screen-printed beach roundie, made of 100% cotton. The beach roundie features an amazing mandala, a Sanskrit word meaning "circle". Somptuous elephant motifs form the black and white mandala pattern, while a white cotton fringe surrounding the border of the tapestry adds elegance.

This majestic beach roundie is versatile and can be used for the beach, picnics, room decoration, meditation, etc.

Meaning "circle" in Sanskrit, mandala is the term for a collection of verse hymns chanted in vedic ceremonies, perhaps coming from the sense of a round of songs. It is believed the universe originated from these hymns, whose sacred sounds contained the generic patterns for all life forms and things.
