Pavitra Mala - 22 Inches | Orange Colour Thread Garland for Deity Decor
• Pavithra mala is made to adorn deities, mostly Perumal (Sri Vaishnava deities), as per agama requirements.
• Made of cotton, Pavitra malas have 180 knots tied, similar to the 108 knots in a Japamala.
• The mala serves as a spiritual tool to align and balance these states, encouraging holistic growth and unity in thought, emotion, and action during meditation or rituals.
Traditionally, the orange Pavitra Mala is linked to the Rajas bhava, which stands for the vivacious, lively, and passionate aspects of human nature. The three gunas (qualities) that characterize an individual's nature in Hindu philosophy are Sattva (goodness), Rajas (activity), and Tamas (inertia). Desire, ambition, and the pursuit of material goals are associated with Rajas, which frequently causes restlessness and action. The vivid orange hue of the Pavitra Mala is associated with Rajas' energetic and transformational energy since it represents life, zeal, and a desire for advancement. In spiritual activities, it is employed to balance and channel this energy into constructive pursuits.
• The tradition of Pavitra mala has been passed down from ancient times:
- In Satyuga, the Pavitra was jewel-embedded.
- In Tretayuga, it was made of gold.
- In Dwaparyuga, it was silk.
- In Kaliyuga, cotton is used for offerings.
• It is believed that on Pavitra Ekadasi, Prabhu accepts the Pavitra from devotees of all types, bestowing them with the corresponding Bhakti Bhava.
• It is presented to deities, Yaga kundams, and Kalasam during Pavithra Utsavams (annual cleansing ceremonies) or Samprokshanam (Kumbabhishekam).
• Pavithra mala is distributed to devotees after the pooja as prasadam.
• A Sri Vaishnava can wear the Pavithra mala during Aradhana, as one of the malas.
Available in different colors. Visit our GIRI stores/website to choose your preferred Pavithra Mala.
