In the Rigvedic period, the ‘Nishka’ was an ornament worn on which body part?

Explanation / व्याख्या

In the Rigvedic period, the ‘Nishka’ was a gold ornament worn around the neck.
It was not only used as jewelry but is also believed to have functioned as a form of wealth or early currency (gold ingot/necklace-like money).

So, it was primarily a neck ornament.

ऋग्वैदिक काल में ‘निष्क’ (Nishka) एक स्वर्ण आभूषण था जो गले में पहना जाता था।

यह केवल आभूषण ही नहीं था, बल्कि इसे धन या प्रारंभिक मुद्रा (currency) के रूप में भी माना जाता है।

इसलिए यह मुख्य रूप से गले का आभूषण था।
