Handmade wall decoration from Nepal. You can decorate your meditation and yoga space beautifully with this elaborate screen print. No tree has to be felled for Lokta paper. The Kalachakra mandala is the most important and most detailed mandala in Tibetan Buddhism. It reflects one`s own reality in body, mind and speech. It is used for meditation by lay people and Buddhist monks and is an important instrument for initiation and initiation into tantric practice. Handmade paper has been produced in Nepal for over 1,000 years. The bark of the Daphne cannabina or Daphne papyracea bush, locally known as lokta, is collected for this purpose. After harvesting, the lokta bush regenerates naturally and returns to full maturity 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.
