Indian classical music has often been combined with cosmic energy, and renowned sitarist, Rishab Rikhiram Sharma's diamond teeth are an ideal example of it.
India has a rich heritage of classical music dating back to thousands of centuries which continues to wow the world. Apart from its deep connection with the country's ancient culture, music is also linked to cosmic energy. Although this part of wisdom is overlooked in the modern world of rap and autotune, several musicians like Rishab Rikhiram Sharma have ensured its continuity.
Despite his young age, Rishab stays loyal to traditional music and proudly embraces shringar. One of the most lesser-known yet significant aspects of his traditional styling is his diamond teeth. But did you know that the shiny gems are connected with his music performance? Read more to know about it.
Rishab Rikhiram Sharma is known for his soulful sitar performances and mental health advocacy. Coming from the renowned Rikhiram family, he has been deeply connected to musical instruments. Apart from his music, the 25-year-old sitar player embraces the traditional shringar which has become the talk of the town. One year ago, Rishab added a new aspect to his look by getting six diamond studs embedded in his teeth, which might seem like a show of wealth or a bold fashion choice, but it's not! Sharing the reason for his decision to get diamond teeth from Dr. Anjali Rajpal, Rishab said in an interview:
"I have diamonds in my teeth also. Yeh pehle nahi tha. It's all part of a shringar, you know, just dressing yourself, you dress up well, you feel good, you play good and life is good."
For those unaware, the diamond teeth are a part of his shringar look, which means decoration, beauty, or aesthetics in Hinduism. They are not a modern trend because the use of gemstones in styling and oral adornment has long been a part of Indian culture. But, what makes his choice unique is the spiritual and astrological significance of these diamonds for singers.
