A Newar girl dressed for the ihi ceremony wears jewelry rich in symbolism. Gold represents the sun god, and silver the moon god.

Her gold hair ornament features peacocks, while the five chained pendants end in moon shapes holding lotus flowers. The silver braid piece includes a fertility fish, bells symbolizing compassion and wisdom, and lotus and pipal leaf pendants.

“In art it is necessary to study ‘occultism’—the hidden side of life. The artist must be a clairvoyant: he must see that which others do not see; he must be a magician: must possess the power to make others see that which they do not themselves see, but which he does see.”

— P.D. Ouspensky, Tertium Organum
