Natural Grey Plain Pure Wool Men’s Shawl (Lohi) | Kullu Handloom Meditation & Prayer Dushala

Product Details

Natural Grey – The Original Wool Shade of the Himalayas

This Natural Grey Plain Pure Wool Men’s Shawl, traditionally known as Lohi, Loi, Loe, Dushala, or Chadar, represents wool in its most authentic and natural form. Handloom woven in Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, this shawl uses plain (mill-spun) pure wool yarn, maintaining a clean texture while delivering reliable warmth.

The natural grey color comes from the inherent tone of wool fibers, giving the shawl an earthy, balanced appearance without artificial brightness. This makes it especially suitable for those who prefer minimal, natural, and traditional aesthetics—ideal for daily winter wear, meditation, prayer, and spiritual practices.

Because the shawl is thick and heavy, it provides excellent insulation against cold winds, winter chill, and snowy environments. The weight also helps it drape well over the shoulders and body, offering a grounding and comforting feel during long sitting sessions.
