nyochhavar (Devanagari: न्योछावर​​; ISO 15919: nyōchāvara) refers to the act of offering something of value—such as money or oneself—out of deep reverence or affection.

While it often denotes a sacrificial offering made for the welfare of a beloved, in a broader sense, it implies a total sacrifice, where one relinquishes their life or personal interests for a greater cause.
