Keyura
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
By Swami Harshananda
Keyura literally means ‘bracelet’.
In iconographical works, gods and goddesses are often shown as bedecked richly with ornaments. Two such ornaments are:
- Kaṅkaṇa - bangle
- Keyura - bracelet
The keyura may be made of silver or gold and worn on the arm above the elbow. It is of different shapes.
