What is temple jewelry also called?
Temple jewelry is also called nakshi jewelry. The word originates from the Bengali word for artistic patterns, naksha. Because it is often worn for important ceremonies and traditions that involve prayers and rituals to the gods, some people also refer to the jewelry as deity jewelry.
