RITUAL ARMOR — Yantra Shirt (Wat Krating, 1995)

from $80.00

This striking yantra ritual shirt, dyed in deep red, is a rare protective garment inscribed with sacred yantras — mystical diagrams used in Thai spiritual traditions to invoke blessings, strength, and protection.

Originating from Wat Krating, Chantabun Province, this ritual shirt bears the image of Luang Phor Khien, a highly revered monk known for consecrating protective talismans. Created in 1995, the garment bridges history and spirituality — a piece of wearable armor infused with ritual power.

Traditionally, shirts like this were worn as shields against unseen forces, misfortune, and danger. In Thai-Buddhist and animist traditions, the deep red cloth symbolizes vitality, courage, and protective fire, amplifying the potency of the sacred yantras inscribed across its surface.
