What does "Anda" mean in Mongolian?

Hatha is a ceremonial silk fabric used by the Tibetan people and is a must-have in social activities. Hada is similar to the ancient Han ritual silk.

According to the analysis of some scholars, the name Hada began to appear when Phagpa returned to Tibet for the first time. As we all know, Pasiba is a very important historical figure in the history of Tibet, especially in the history of relations between the central government and local Tibet. In 1244, he accompanied his uncle Sakya Pandita Gongga Gyaltsen to Xiliang (also known as Liangzhou, today's Wuwei, Gansu) to meet with Kuo Duan, the second son of Emperor Taizong of the Yuan Dynasty. After the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty came to the throne, Pasiba was revered as the national master and the emperor's master. When he returned to Tibet for the first time in 1265, he presented and gave hada to Bodhisattvas, Buddha statues, monks and lay officials. As far as the author knows, the official records of Hada in history books began at this time.

In Tibetan social interactions, the reason why the use of hada as a ceremonial item has been popular for a long time is due to the rich cultural connotation of hada. Tibetans have always believed that whiteness and flawlessness can best express and symbolize people's sincere and pure wishes. Therefore, people have used white hada in social interactions since ancient times to express their sincere and pure wishes. Therefore, Hada has long become an important medium and carrier of this profound cultural mentality of the Tibetan people.
