Jain Hangings

Jain hangings for the baby ghodiya, palana and nursery, and for any corner of the home where the family wants a daily reminder: double-sided Ashtamangal cards, a paper jhumar with Jain motifs, and a miniature wind chime strung with the charitra upkarans a sadhu carries, including the ogho. Hung where a newborn’s eyes rest, the symbols become familiar long before they have names; hung by the puja room door, they give the whole house a moment of darshan.

They are a common gift at a baby shower or naming ceremony, a thoughtful diksha chaab or tapasvi gift, and parents later use the same cards to teach the symbols.
