Tibetan Khata Ceremonial Scarf

Our 100% silk golden yellow Tibetan Khata Ceremonial Scarf features the Eight Auspicious Symbols lightly woven in white into the fabric.  It measures approximately 12 inches wide by 52 inches long. It is sometimes referred to as a khada, khadag or hada, and is a traditional ceremonial scarf common in Tibetan culture.  Khatas can be presented at any festive occasions to a host or at weddings, funerals, births, graduation, arrivals and departure of guests, etc. The Tibetans commonly give a kind acknowledgment of Tashi Delek (meaning Good Luck) at the time of presenting. The Dalai Lama is known to offer khata as a gift to diplomats, visitors, or other monks, which symbolizes purity of intention and the beginning of the relationship.  Made in Nepal.
