==Religious and cultural use== According to Hindu dharma tradition, most girls and some boys (especially the "twice-born") get their ears pierced as part of a Dharmic rite known as [[Karnavedha]] before they are about five years old. Infants may get their ears pierced as early as several days after their birth. Similar customs <!-- But still religious? --> are practiced in other Asian countries, including Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Laos, although traditionally most males wait to get their ears pierced until they have reached young adulthood.
