The Tilhari is a traditional necklace worn by Nepali women, particularly in the Newar community.
Traditionally, the Tilhari is worn by married women as a symbol of their marital status.
Originally, Tilharis were crafted from gold and featured a central pendant.
Today, Tilharis come in various forms, including gold-plated or imitation versions, with or without a central pendant.
Tilharis can range in length, with some reaching up to 30 inches.
While traditionally simpler in design, modern Tilharis can incorporate various beads, stones, and other embellishments.
The Tilhari holds cultural significance in Nepal, representing tradition, heritage, and beauty.
