Product Features & Craftsmanship
-
Premium Karma Wood: Carved from solid Karma wood, prized by Himalayan artisans for its fine grain and natural resilience. The wood features a beautiful golden-honey hue that matures into a rich, antique umber over time.
-
Traditional Lattice Artistry: This window features the classic Tiki Jhya (geometric cross-hatch) lattice, meticulously hand-chiselled to create a stunning play of light and shadow.
-
Architectural Symbolism: The frame is adorned with traditional motifs, including the Kalash (vessel of abundance) and scrolling floral vines, symbolizing prosperity and the flowering of consciousness.
-
100% Artisan-Made: Every curve and notch is created using traditional hand tools. This is not a mass-produced item but a unique work of art that preserves centuries-old carving techniques.
