Tibetan fabric amulets, also known as "Ga'u", are traditionally sewn by hand and often contain small protective symbols, mantras or blessed objects. They serve as a personal talisman and are worn close to the body to promote good luck, health and spiritual protection. We obtain our amulets from the Tibetan Institute of Medicine and Astrology, Men-Tsee-Khang, in Dharamsala. The size of the amulet is approx. 4.5 x 4.5 cm. A colored cord with a circumference of approx. 78 cm is attached to it.
