Handmade Colorful Traditional Kanthi Necklace for Ganesh Chaturthi

This kanthi Haar is a type of necklace, specifically a "kanthi" or "mala" that is used to adorn Lord Ganesha idols and goddess murtis. "Kanthi" in Sanskrit means necklace, and the term is used to describe beaded necklaces worn around the neck. These malas are often used during religious ceremonies and festivals, particularly Ganesh Chaturthi, to enhance the deity's appearance.

Kanthi is a necklace worn around the neck. "Kanth" means neck and because it’s worn around the neck it is called kanthi. It is the symbol of our surrender to the creator of this universe, the supreme almighty. The kanthi is the best symbol of one’s surrender, as it gives us the ultimate feeling of oneness with God.

Kanthi is a two-stringed ‘chain’ in stone worn around the neck. A kanthi reminds us that God is with us at all times. It inspires us not to be afraid of any outside influences because God will always be with us and protects us. The tying of the two strings together symbolises the union of the soul with the supreme lord.

This kanthi can be offered to deity idol OR can be worn by any person.
