Jaipur Mandala kit

Jaipur Mandala

A mandala has spiritual significance in Buddhism and Hinduism, regarded as a symbol of the outer and inner worlds of the universe.

Jaipur is known as the pink city, for the colour of its buildings. It is full of wonderfully grand architecture including the City Palace which is still the home of the Jaipur royal family.

I loved visiting the street of wood carvers and bought this hand-carved block there.

Take your time working into and around the pink print, filling it with little stitches to create your own unique mandala. It’s a gentle meditative task which calms the busy mind. The little kit makes a good travelling companion - always ready for you to pick up and work on.

In the box you’ll find a hand printed mandala design in pink on natural linen, and a cotton backing fabric (both approx 17 x 17cm), a needle, simple stitches guide and suggestions. Six metres of stranded embroidery cottons are included.
