These Bodhi Leaf cards are handcrafted from local materials by artisans in Nepal. Lokta paper is made from the fiber of the local Lokta plant, also known as the paper plant. Bodhi trees are common in the Southeast Asia and often used to symbolize awakening. Following local tradition, each card comes with a loose Lokta sheet for your message. The message is for keepsake while the card is passed along to pass the blessing.
