Hada:Incarnation of Friendship and Fraternity
Presenting the hada -- a strip of raw silk or linen -- is a common practice among Tibetan people expressing best wishes on many occasions, such as wedding ceremonies, festivals, visiting elders and superiors, and entertaining guests. The white hada in Tibet embodies purity and good fortune. The hada is pronounced "kha-(b)tags" in Tibetan. Folklore historians believe that the tradition of the hada presentation can be traced back to the reign of Kublai Khan, the founder of China's Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368).
