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.
