Kushti
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kushti or Kusti, also spelled as Koshti, is the sacred girdle worn by Zoroastrians around their waists. Along with the Sedreh this is part of the ritual dress of the Zoroastrians.
The Kushti is worn around the waist and passes it three times. It is tied twice in a double knot in the front and back, the ends of the Kushti hanging on the back. The Kushti is made of 72 fine, white and woollen threads, which represent the 72 chapters of the Yasna.
The ritual of untying and tying the Kushti is performed several times a day and is called Nirang-i Kushti.
