Rishab Rikhiram Sharma is an ardent believer of Shringar, which plays a key role in traditional arts and culture. Have you noticed artists in classic painting are always wearing jewelry, makeup, colors, no matter the gender? You got it.

A year ago, Rishab changed his look by getting six small diamond studs put in his teeth, each weighing 5 cents. While it might look like he did it to show off or make a bold fashion statement, that’s not true. In an interview, Rishab explained the real reason he got the diamond teeth from Dr. Anjali Rupali. “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,” he said.

Musician Rishab Rikhiram Sharma’s diamond teeth are a part of his Shringaar, for spiritual reasons. They are not similar to getting tattoos, although tattoos are cool too. 

Diamond spiritual meaning

According to Vedic astrology, diamonds are linked to chakras and the planet Venus, which represents love, art, and music. Venus is believed to rule over things that bring pleasure to the senses, like music, poetry and fashion. That’s why many singers and musicians choose to wear diamonds, as they’re thought to boost creativity and elegance. Rishab also wears two diamond studs in his ears for the same reason.
