A cotton mauli thread, also known as kalava, raksha sutra, or mouli, is a red or yellow (sometimes orange, white, or a combination) cotton thread used in Hindu religious ceremonies and cultural practices. It's typically a simple, untwisted or loosely twisted thread, often tied around the wrist of a person as a symbol of protection, blessings, and good fortune. The thread is often offered to deities during pujas (worship rituals) and then tied to the devotees. It signifies a bond between the devotee and the divine, as well as a symbol of commitment to a vow or promise. The cotton material is chosen for its purity and natural properties.
