In our sincerest attempt in reducing the community's carbon footprint we in partnership with Utpala Crafts introduce biodegradable Khatas (scarf) and Lungtas (prayer flags) that are environment friendly. These are made of cotton and bamboo blend; and unlike the synthetic material it is easy to decompose.
Each Khata comes in three colors (red, grey, golden), decorated with Tashi Tagye (eight auspicious Buddhist symbols). While our lungta comes with 25 flags and measures nine metres long. The thread that binds the flag is made using sisal.
With this approach we are not only drawing everyone's attention towards the environmental issue but we are also reminding our communities that follow Tibetan Buddhism of our age old traditional practices that were actually eco-friendly.
So let us join hands together in bringing those practices back for a better future.
