Handmade wall decoration from Nepal. You can decorate your meditation and yoga space beautifully with this elaborate screen print. Ganesha is presented as a sweet-natured, gracious, kind, humorous, jovial, wise, humane and playful, mischievous god who often plays pranks. He is one of the most important, popular and accessible gods of India. However, Lord Ganesh is not only worshipped by Hindus. Buddhists in Nepal worship him and always have a corner in the temple that they dedicate to Ganesha. No tree has to be felled for Loktapaier. Handmade paper has been produced in Nepal for over 1,000 years. The bark of the Daphne cannabina or Daphne papyracea bush, known locally as lokta, is collected for this purpose. After harvesting, the lokta bush regenerates naturally and reaches full maturity again in six to seven years, preserving Nepal`s fragile forest ecology. The boiled bark is beaten with wooden mallets, creating a soft pulp that is poured over screen-printed wooden frames. The drying process takes place in the sun. The dried paper is then peeled off in the frame and processed further.
