Nyapushikha (also spelled Nyapu Shikha) is an iconic traditional head ornament from the Newar culture of Nepal.
Design and Structure
-
The Name: The name is derived from the Newar words "Nyapu" (meaning five) and "Shikha" (meaning golden chain).
-
Five Chains: It typically consists of five gold or gold-plated chains that are interconnected but spread out in a web-like pattern
-
Central Point: These chains are often connected at a single point, which frequently features a symbolic shape such as a moon or a peacock.
-
Fit: A bobby pin or clip is usually attached to the back to ensure a secure and comfortable fit on the head.
Care Instructions
-
Avoid Chemicals: Apply all perfumes, hairsprays, and lotions before putting on the jewellery to prevent dulling the stones.
-
Keep Dry: Remove the set before showering, swimming, or heavy exercise to preserve the high-shine plating.
-
Storage: Store in an airtight jewellery box or a soft microfiber pouch to prevent oxidation and scratches.
-
Cleaning: Gently wipe with a soft, dry microfiber cloth after each wear to maintain its brilliance.
