Muthu Kuda for Buddhist Festivals

Umbrellas serve a common purpose of providing shade from the sun or protection from rain. Nevertheless, diverse cultures offer various interpretations of their use. The "Muthu Kuda" holds a specific role as a shield for Buddhist Monks against the elements of nature. While some feature simple designs, others are intricately embroidered with triple pagodas.

Furthermore, Muthu Kuda designs often incorporate different Buddhist symbols, such as the Sacred Bodhi Tree Leaf, the Dharma Wheel, the Lotus Flower, and the Conch Shell. Some of these designs are lavishly adorned with sequins, adding a radiant touch to the umbrellas.
