Sri Lakshmi Yantra Mandala Neck Tie

Shri Yantra Mandala: Also known as the Cosmic Yantra, the Sri or Shri Yantra Mandala is the most popular of the Hindu Mahavidya Yantras. The Shri Yantra is a symbol of Tripurasundari, the supreme goddess of the trantric sect of Shri Vidya. The Shri Vidya is the symbol (yantra) of nine intersecting triangles within a 'circle' or lotus, and is an interpretation of dynamic female energy intersecting vibrant male energy. Lakshmi Yantra: Lakshmi is the Hindu goddess representative of fortune, light, luck, and beauty. She herself is beautiful and benevolent. Associated with the lotus, her yantra facilitates spiritual progress, enlightenment, and overcoming internal discourse. When focused upon, the Lakshmi energies are engaged and said to expedite abundant wealth, harmony, and tranquility to our lives.

I bought this tie for a cosplay of Haruhi Fujioka for Halloween and anime conventions. It feels very nice and silky. It's my first tie ever, and I'm a pretty big fan since I always wanted a tie. It was longer than I expected it to be (quite a plus), but the purple stripe was also thinner than I expected it to be (a slight bit of a downer, but I don't mind too much). I had never used Zazzle before, but I am very impressed with the shipping time. I was looking for places to get a tie like this so last minute since the ties like this on Amazon were incompatible with Prime. Thus, I ended up here. I paid for express shipping, expected delivery October 30-31, and it arrived in the morning on the 30th. Very impressed. I might just use Zazzle again. The print job was okay. The colors were perfect, but as you can see in the pictures, the stripe was a little off-center, and there was a kink in the stripe around where it transitions from the wide end to the thin end. It should work perfectly for my cosplay, but it was a little too carelessly print to be a very professional tie.

The Pageant Tie is just what I wanted and everyone at church wants one. I have worn it several days now and each day more people come to me to see it and say how great it is. The printing is just as it should be. Each photo is clear and the color is great.
