The ritual of blessing rushes in Buddhist temples

What distinguishes an authentic Kumlai from a simple costume jewelry piece is not only its handcrafted production, but above all the Buddhist rush blessing ritual practiced in temples in Thailand.


Before being worn, each sacred bracelet passes through the hands of a monk, who recites a mantra to transmit its spiritual power.
