Shripech (Nepali: श्रीपेच) is a crown that was traditionally worn by Nepalese monarchs. During the Rana rule, a special variant of the shripech was created for them to wear.
The Shripech is currently located at the Narayanhiti Palace Museum since 2018. It consists of over 3,000 precious stones, including 723 diamonds, 2,372 pearls, 48 emeralds and 16 rubies.




History


Although there is no definite evidence as to when the Shreepech was created, Rajendra Bikram Shah was the first King of Nepal who started wearing the Shreepech.




Description


Apart from the Kalki (a large tail feather of the bird-of-paradise), the Shreepech is studded with diamonds, pearls, rubies, Navaratnas, gold and silver. On June 29, 1965, while keeping the records of Shripech handed over by the Government of Nepal, officials of the Nepal Gold and Silver Business Association prepared a report that diamond, ruby, Navaratna, and gold were used in Shreepech in large quantities and the largest part was silver. The Total Estimated Evaluation of Shreepech is about $ 60 Million(2024).
