Why did we use Chatra?
The chatra (or chhatra) is an important symbol in Indian culture, often associated with protection, honor, and auspiciousness. Here are some key aspects of its significance:
Symbol of Royalty and Protection: Traditionally, the chatra is a type of umbrella used by kings and deities to signify their high status and to provide protection from the sun or rain. It symbolizes royal authority and is often depicted in art and architecture.
Religious Significance: In Hindu and Buddhist iconography, the chatra is often seen as a symbol of divine protection and shelter. It is commonly depicted in the context of sacred figures, such as the Buddha and Hindu deities, indicating their elevated status and the protection they offer to their followers.
Cultural Symbolism: In various Indian festivals and ceremonies, the chatra is used to signify the importance and sanctity of the occasion. It can be seen in processions, rituals, and even in the decoration of religious places.
Historical Relevance: Historically, the chatra was used in royal courts and ceremonial events. It has been a part of Indian heritage and represents the grandeur and tradition of Indian royalty and religious practices.
Overall, the chatra embodies the values of protection, honor, and divine presence in Indian culture, making it a significant symbol in both historical and contemporary contexts.
Importance of Torans
Torans, also known as Bandhanwars, hold a special place in Indian culture. Traditionally hung on doorways during auspicious occasions, these decorative pieces symbolize welcoming and positive energy. The word “Toran” is derived from the Sanskrit word “Torana,” meaning gateway. These ornate hangings are believed to attract prosperity, happiness, and ward off negative energies. Torans are often embellished with bells, beads, and motifs representing various elements of nature and mythology, adding to their spiritual significance. Beyond their decorative appeal, Torans embody the essence of hospitality and are integral to Indian celebrations and rituals.
Shipping & Storage: This toran is foldable, the volumetric weight of the piece exceeds the actual weight. It is easy to carry in luggage for domestic & international travel.
