About this piece
A kada is a bracelet worn on the wrist. This one is an open cuff in a silver, brass and copper finish with the Surya (Sun) mantra engraved in bold Sanskrit script across the front. The seller says the base is silver-toned and framed by twisted, rope-like copper borders.
In the photos the front panel looks closer to warm brass and copper than to silver, with a plain brass inside. The seller says the open cuff adjusts for everyday wear. It suits someone who wants a mantra bracelet.
How it is used
A mantra kada is worn on the wrist, and the planet's mantra is often read or recited from it. Sunday is the weekday traditionally linked with Surya.
Looking after it
