At 1 World Sarongs we find mandalas irresistibly beautiful, calming and meditative. Of course we also love sarongs. And who doesn’t love elephants? The gentle giants that symbolize strength in body and mind (FYI elephants are known for their outstanding memories). So we married all three into a Mandala Sarong with Elephants! That’s right; we have beautiful mandala sarongs with elephants! No it’s not exactly like marrying peanut butter and chocolate, but this combination has a gorgeous magnificence all on its own. In fact, it’s our wish and hope you will find it truly pleasing to have and hold your very own mandala sarong with elephants. You could even hang your new mandala sarong as wall art to mediate and lift your spirit to a higher elevation. Did you know? Mandalas have been used for 100’s of years throughout the world in many different spiritual and non-spiritual traditions. From India to South America mandalas have so many meanings and uses. Some are used in the form of calendars and others mandalas are uses as meditation tools. Even in Western thought Marie-Louise Von Franz writes about C.G. Jung (the famous dream interpreter): “The mandala serves a conservative purpose—namely, to restore a previously existing order. But it also serves the creative purpose of giving expression and form to something that does not yet exist, something new and unique. … The process is that of the ascending spiral, which grows upward while simultaneously returning again and again to the same point.” Isn’t that beautiful? — Jungian analyst Marie-Louise von Franz, C. G. Jung: Man and His Symbols, p. 225 Of course you can learn more about Sarongs and Mandalas on Wikipedia. Is it true what they write on Wikipedia? They list 1 World Sarongs as a reference if you search for “sarongs” so it has some truth! Either way, it’s our wish that you will enjoy your beautiful Mandala Sarong with Elephants from the 1 World Sarongs family! This hand made sarong measures approximately 66 x 44 inches (168 cm x 112 cm) on fringed lightweight rayon. Please note color, size and design will vary due to the handmade nature of this item.
