Handcrafted Wooden Tea Coasters – Mandala Brown

Mandala sacred geometry — hand-painted in brown on round wooden coasters. Set of 6.

A geometric mandala, hand-painted for the buyer who wants something meditative rather than mythological — balance and symmetry over story and deity. Mandala, meaning "circle" in Sanskrit, represents the universe in Hindu and Buddhist meditative traditions, and this coaster set renders that sacred geometry in warm brown tones.

This is the piece to reach for when gifting outside the family — someone who appreciates Indian design sensibility without necessarily following a specific devotional practice, since mandala art carries no single religious narrative attached to it.

At EthniiChic, each piece is hand-painted by artists, then sealed, waterproofed, and heat-treated so it holds up to daily tea and coffee use rather than sitting purely decorative. Every piece carries small natural variations in line and colour — the mark of handwork, not a defect. 

A frequent pick for housewarming, wedding, and festive gifting, and one of our most-loved pieces among NRI customers styling a coffee table, dining table, or work-from-home desk with a genuine piece of Indian craft.

Material: Medium density engineered wood, waterproofed and heat-treated.
Dimensions: Diameter: 10 cm.
Set: Set of 6 with stand

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these coasters heat-resistant and safe under hot cups?
Yes. Every coaster is heat-treated and sealed, so it can hold a hot cup of tea or coffee daily without damage to the hand-painted surface underneath.

How do I clean and care for hand-painted wooden coasters?
Wipe with a soft, dry or lightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking them, running them under a tap, using the dishwasher, or scrubbing with chemicals — this keeps the hand-painted finish looking new for years.

Are these coasters hand-painted or printed?
Hand-painted. Every piece passes through an artisan's hands, so small variations in line and colour are part of the craft, not a manufacturing flaw.

Do these coasters make good gifts?
Yes — this is one of our most-requested pieces for housewarming, wedding, and festive gifting, and a favourite among NRI customers gifting a piece of home. Each set comes with a matching stand, ready to hand over.

What is a mandala?
Mandala is Sanskrit for "circle." In Hindu and Buddhist tradition, it represents the universe — a symmetrical geometric form used as a focal point for meditation and prayer.

Is each coaster exactly identical, and will the hand-painted design fade over time?
No two pieces are perfectly identical — small variations in line and colour are part of hand-painting, not a flaw. The sealant coat protects the artwork under normal daily use, and colours hold well for years with the simple care above; direct, prolonged sunlight will fade any hand-painted or dyed surface faster, so keep pieces out of direct window light where possible.
