Roopatara

Roopatara refers to a traditional Nepalese pendant or amulet, often made of gold or silver and intricately designed. These pendants typically depict Hindu deities or auspicious symbols and are worn for protection, good fortune, or religious significance. The Roopatara is considered an important part of Nepalese cultural heritage and is often passed down through families as an heirloom. The designs can vary regionally, reflecting the diverse cultural and religious practices across Nepal. While primarily worn by women, smaller versions may also be worn by children. The craftsmanship involved in creating a Roopatara is highly skilled, often incorporating repoussé work and gemstone settings.
