''Kushti'' (also: ''Kusti'', ''Koshti'') is the sacred girdle worn by Zoroastrians around their waists. Along with the ''Sedreh'', the ''Kushti'' is part of the ritual dress of the Zoroastrians. The ''Kushti'' is worn wound three times around the waist. 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 woolen threads, which represent the 72 chapters of the ''Yasna'', the primary liturgical collection of texts of the ''Avesta''. The ritual of untying and tying the ''Kushti'' is performed several times a day and is called ''Nirang-i Kushti''. During this ritual, the individual must remain standing in one spot, and may not speak to anyone. If the individual speaks, the ritual must be recommenced. ==See also== *Yagnyopavit, the sacred thread of Vedic Hinduism *Izze-kloth, the sacred cord of the Apache Native American tribe 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kushti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
