From chaandbalis, waterfall earrings, diamond earrings, there is a plethora of options to choose from. Jhumkaas have predominantly ruled the earring arena for long, however, new-age brides are now experimenting with various earring styles. Traditionally it was worn by women so as to protect them from anyone hypnotizing them. Necklaces are known to get rid of evil omen and charms. Sometimes, brides also wear layers of necklaces, beautifying the ensemble. Symbolizing prosperity, brides usually are seen flaunting oversized necklaces made out of kundan, gemstones, diamonds or gold. Well, if this to be believed or not, I am not too sure, but this ornament certainly does add to the overall beauty of the bride. It is believed that getting your nose pierced prevents the woman from experiencing too much pain during childbirth. Known to also strengthen the eyes, Kajal was traditionally applied for securing the bride from any ill omen or as we call it ‘ Buri nazar ’. Kajal or these days eye-liner is applied to accentuate the shape of the bride’s eyes and to make her look more attractive. This shringar signifies matrimony and the well-being of the husband.Ī ‘shringar’ worn by brides on their forehead, a mang tikka is worn mainly to add beauty and charm to the overall look of the bride! Placed on the agya chakra (on the forehead), this signifies the holy union between the bride and groom on a mental, emotional and physical level. Sindoor or vermillion powder is applied by the groom onto the middle parting of the bride’s hair, during the wedding ceremony. It in a way symbolizes the third eye, which is a representative of seeing the future. This is symbolic of a woman being married and it has religious meaning to it as well. The bride wears her bindi in the middle of her eyebrows. I’ve created a lookbook for y’all to check out with the different 16 ornaments which together comprise the quintessential ‘solah shringar’ and the importance of each: During this ritual, the to-be-bride is equated with the Hindu Goddess, Lakshmi- Goddess of fertility, prosperity, and beauty. This ritual of making the bride wear each piece of jewellery takes place before the wedding. Moreover, these 16 ornaments are also responsible for a head to toe beautification of a married woman. Beliefs say these ornaments are meant to protect certain parts of the body and thereby, control and channelize the power that these parts exude. In Indian culture, women are considered as embodiments of ‘shakti’ or power. Wearing jewellery doesn’t simply add shimmer and bling to your overall ensemble, it also adds a beguiling, unmissable charm. The radiance emanated by ornaments has always caught my fascination.
