Deep plum and purple tones in an ornate medallion mandala design — this purple mandala tapestry is the most regal piece in the collection. Where most mandala tapestries lean into the warm, earthy boho palette, this one inhabits the cool, deep end of the spectrum: the purple that in spiritual tradition connects to the crown chakra, to higher consciousness, and to the quality of spiritual dignity and refinement that has made purple the colour of royalty and spiritual authority across cultures throughout human history.
Purple and the crown chakra
In the chakra system, violet and purple are the colours of Sahasrara — the crown chakra at the top of the head, the energy centre associated with spiritual connection, higher awareness, and the transcendence of the individual self into something larger. Placing a purple mandala tapestry in a meditation space is an alignment with the crown chakra’s quality: the invitation to move beyond the ordinary preoccupations of the mind into a more spacious and spiritually connected state of awareness. The ornate medallion pattern reinforces this quality — the complexity and precision of the design reward sustained attention and gradually reveal its depth the longer it is observed.
The medallion design
The medallion mandala — a large central circular motif surrounded by intricate supporting patterns — is one of the most traditional formats in Indian textile art, derived from the roundel patterns of Mughal design. The bow and plum elements in this tapestry reference both the Persian-influenced floral traditions that reached India through Mughal culture and the indigenous Indian tradition of the lotus and petal mandala. The result is an ornate, layered design that rewards close inspection and works beautifully as a feature wall piece in a space that can hold its visual complexity.

What does a purple mandala tapestry mean?
Purple in spiritual tradition is associated with the crown chakra (Sahasrara) — the energy centre of spiritual connection, higher awareness, and the transcendence of ordinary mind into a more spacious, spiritually connected state. Across cultures, purple has been the colour of royalty and spiritual authority — in ancient Rome, Byzantine Christianity, and many Asian spiritual traditions, purple signified the qualities of wisdom, dignity, and connection to the divine. A purple mandala tapestry combines the crown chakra energy of the colour with the sacred geometry of the mandala — creating a piece that is both visually regal and spiritually oriented toward the qualities of higher awareness and inner stillness.
