Things I Learned While Searching Wikipedia For Ideas On How To Write This Shirt Up:

• The word “Mandala” can refer to either the large colorful circles prevalent in many Hindu and Buddhist spiritual traditions or one of the 10 books of the Rigveda, which is a sacred and ancient Indian collection of Vedic Sanskrit hymns. Strangely, I see neither in this shirt.
• India was first to domesticate elephants.
• I could really go for some chicken makhani right now.
• Ganesha, the well-known elephant-headed god, is sometimes known as The Lord of Obstacles. He is often worshipped in hopes that he may grant protection against adversity in such ventures as business dealings, travel, or attempting to writeup a shirt about a country and culture the writer knows very little about.
• Each of the eight Guardians of the Directions rides a sacred elephant, the greatest of which is Airavata, who carries Indra, King of the gods.
• There are no nearby Indian food delivery places close to my apartment.
• While elephants are viewed as symbols of power and great strength and often used as not only the mounts of royalty and beasts of burden, but also executioners.
• It takes almost 10 minutes to drive to the nearest Indian food restaurant. I’m also really glad I ordered some extra garlic naan ‘cause, man, does it smell incredible.

Wear this shirt: to an elephant parade.

Don’t wear this shirt: to a Native American reservation.

This shirt tells the world: “I guess he had some junk in his trunk.”

We call this color: A Pint Of Indian Brown Ale
