Significance of Khadau in Indian Culture
Almost every Indian is familiar with the ancient tale of Sri Ram and his unfortunate Vanvas. As he left his castle a day before he was to be annointed the ruler, a trail of tears and remorse followed his departure. His younger brother Bharat was heart – broken and it didn’t take him very long to follow his elder brother into the forest, to plead with him to return home. However, a faithfully committed Sri Ram steadfastly refused, as it was against his ethics to go back on the promise he had made to his father. Returning home empty handed, Bharat refused to occupy the throne and instead placed Sri Ram’s Paduka (Khadau) on it, symbolising Sri Ram’s presence in the palace. He took an oath to look after the kingdom only as a care – taker, until his idol, Sri Ram, returned home and took his rightful place on the throne.
Even though footwear has drastically evolved since then and you can rarely spot someone wearing a khadau these days, this earliest form of footwear still symbolises spirituality, and is also a sacred cultural icon for traditional homes. The reason being that it is emblematic of the revered feet of the saints and sages who used to wear it. Khadau has even gained significant traction in recent years by becoming a celebrated element of contemporary interior design.
