The himiana (Classical Mandaic: ࡄࡉࡌࡉࡀࡍࡀ) or hemyanā is a sacred ritual girdle or belt used by the Mandaeans.
[1] Traditionally, it is white, tubular, and made of wool.
[2] Himiana is a Persian loanword, like burzinqa (turban) and margna (staff).
[3] Unlike the Zoroastrian kushti, which is made of 72 threads, the Mandaean himiana is made of 60 woolen threads.
