Indian artisans hand-block print Chattra zabutons in divine mix-and-match prints inspired by design elements of India's historical palaces, forts and temples, traditional textiles, and spiritual practices.   Chattra zabutons provide comfortable leg and knee support during meditation and pranayama practice; can also be used for padding and gentle support in shoulder stand and other asanas. Chattra zafus provide spine alignment and support during pranayama and meditation.  Navy Monsoon Zafu’s print is reminiscent of capital and pavilion floral carvings of Fatehpur Sikri, the abandoned city of Emperor Akbar not far from Agra; it includes subtle line work similar to the monsoon-celebrating rain imagery painted in the Hall of Clouds mural room at Junagarh Fort in Bikaner, Rajasthan. Navy Bandhani Zabuton’s delicate, complicated pattern is inspired by the dots and circles of Bandhani tie and dye textiles. From the word bandhan, Hindi for tying up, bandhani is used in the turbans, saris and skirts of Rajasthan and Gujurat. Both include colorful tassels like those worn by the camels of Rajasthan's great Thar dessert. 100% cotton covers/liners made in ethical workshops in India; US-grown cotton fill in zabuton; buckwheat hulls in zafu; integrated handles; assembled in USA. Divine in any home practice or studio interior.  About Chattra: Chattra collections include richly-colored, hand-block and screen-printed yoga props and bags celebrating India’s architecture, design, and spiritual heritage. Sanskrit for parasol, chattra symbolizes dignity and protection. In Buddhism, a chattra tops stupa monuments and often represents the Buddha.  The playful and profound elephant-headed Hindu deity Ganesha, remover of obstacles and Lord of Beginnings, often carries a chattra.  Lovely meanings to enhance yoga practice.
