Varanasi Batik Wall Hanging Art — Sacred Mandala Collection

These exclusive Varanasi Batik Wall Hanging Art pieces are hand-painted by a four-generation family of artisans in Varanasi, India. Each Batik is entirely handcrafted through a process of waxing the intricate design, dyeing the fabric, and removing the wax to reveal the final creation. The result is an amazing work of art that adds a sacred element to any home or workspace and can act as a wonderful instrument for meditation and prayer.

Our Sacred Mandala Collection is inspired by colorful mandalas that hold a symbolic and meditative meaning beyond their vibrant appearances. Mandalas have been used in different traditions for meditation, prayer, art therapy, and healing. Not only are they good for our spiritual growth, but clinical studies have also shown mandalas can be beneficial for our physical well-being, as well. In Sanskrit, ‘Manda’ means essence, and ‘la’ means container. So, a mandala represents the very essence of creation and the container of life. The mandala’s circle symbolizes the cosmos in its infinity, with no beginning or end. The geometric pattern shows us our interconnectedness, also serving as a pathway to higher spiritual learning and God-realization.

Available in a wide variety of beautiful color combinations. Hanging materials not included; display ideas listed at the bottom. Since each Varanasi Batik Wall Hanging Art is individually handcrafted, patterns and colors may vary slightly.

SIZE:  Approximately 34½" x 34½"

MATERIAL:  100% cotton

ORIGIN:  Handcrafted in India

CARE:  Feather dust. Do not wash, dry clean or hang in direct sunlight.

DISPLAY OPTIONS:  Hanging materials are not included. Display options include using small hanging rings, Velcro strips® (with softer portions attached to the Batik), or a ‘Museum Mount’ for the most professional display.

To create your own Museum Mount, you’ll need a needle, thread, stapler and staples suitable for wood, plus black fabric and a wooden frame that’s approximately a ½" larger than the Batik Wall Hanging Art on each side. Stretch black fabric over frame, and staple fabric to cover frame. Hand-stitch Batik to the frame fabric, turning the rough edges under, for the most professional look.
