Art in Motion:
Jewellery as visual art: Mirrors temple carvings and mythic imagery.
Accompaniment to movement: Earrings, necklaces, and bangles flow with the dancer, emphasizing posture and rhythm.
Spiritual symbols: The Tahiya evokes mountaintop temples; the waist belt represents the union of divine and earthly realms.
