Introducing Namaste

Namaste Arts & Objects is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Jiwan Ratna Shakya. Wife Alice Shakya, a Baguio girl, started the shop in 2004 with the aim of bringing her adopted country, Nepal, closer to the Filipinos. One simply could visit the shop at the 1^st Floor of Porta Vaga in Session Road and experience what it is to enter a bazaar in Kathmandu and fall in love with Nepal's distinct culture and tradition through arts and relics that remind of the Shangri-La. Our focus is on Asian Arts like new and collectible books and music CDs on Buddhism, Tibetan arts as well as a wide variety of silver accessories and décor. We also have a wide array of genuine Tibetan DZI beads, singing and healing bowls, malas, amber, stones, beads and lucky charms that have a spritual healing effect. We also have colorful shawls made from the best wool from the Himalayan plateau. Some are even hand embroidered and dyed naturally. These shawls, particularly the pashminas, are given as a sign of respect to loved ones and trusted friends. Come and visit us. Namaste.
