Divine Goat Jewelry: Inspiration from Jokhang Temple
The Spiritual Symbol of Lhasa
“ར་ས།”（Ra Sa）, is the spiritual symbol of Lhasa. In Tibetan, “ར” (Ra) means “goat,” and “ས” (Sa) means “earth.”

The mural inside Jokhang Temple
Legend says that Jokhang Temple was built with earth carried by thousands of goats. This sacred land was thus named “Lhasa” in honor of their dedication. After the temple’s completion, this image is said to have naturally appeared here, commemorating the goats’ contribution.

Design Story
The Divine Goat collection draws inspiration from this sacred goat that carries history and faith. The chain design takes cues from the temple’s door curtain chains, symbolizing the sacred duty of guarding the sanctuary and the discipline of mastering one’s own mind.
