Journey Through India’s Captivating Curiosities You Never Knew Existed
Sparkling Symbols of Marriage
In India, married women adorn themselves with special ornaments like the “mangalsutra” (a sacred necklace), “sindoor” (vermillion powder applied in the hair parting), and toe rings, known as “bichiya.” These decorations signify marital status and are steeped in tradition.
While not strictly prohibited, it’s culturally uncommon for unmarried women to wear these items. Other markers of a married woman include bangles and a bindi (forehead dot). These beautiful adornments enhance their beauty and reflect their commitment and the rich cultural heritage of Indian matrimony.
