Namaste Mallet Striker

This handcrafted wooden mallet is a new addition to our singing bowl accessories. It is wrapped in velvet leather on one end and carved with the popular 'Namaste' hand gesture on the other, hence its name.

With a length of approximately 18 cm and a diameter of 3 cm at the suede-covered end, this mallet is ideal for playing small and medium-sized singing bowls, particularly those between 10 and 20 cm in diameter.

Choosing the right mallet is essential for achieving your desired sound, as both the material and playing style influence the tone. This is where this leather mallet excels. It is handcrafted by Newari artisans in Nepal.

About the popular hand gesture 'Namaste'

'Namaste' (नमस्ते) is a Sanskrit word meaning 'I bow to the divine in you'. This traditional greeting involves folding the hands together near the chest and bowing gently, to symbolise respect and connection.

Commonly used in Nepal and India, and in similar forms across Southeast Asia, namaste is more than just a greeting. It conveys gratitude, humility and spiritual awareness, bringing harmony to the mind, body and soul.
