Aside from being a declaration of being a married woman, Indian bangles connote romantic and amorous statements. Based on classical Indian poetry, the woman's yearning for her lover or husband is indicated through the slipping of the bangle from her wrist, suggesting that the agony of being away from him is making her unhealthy and thin. The music coming from the tinkling bangles also carries its own meaning, expressing the presence of the woman, her wish for his attention, her desire, or even anger. Bangles are usually slipped on a wrist just by a little bit of pressure. Occasionally, oil is used on the hand for easy slipping. Derived from the Hindu word bungri, meaning glass, bangles are made from precious and non-precious material such as silver, platinum, gold, wood, glass, and plastic, just to name a few. Bangles are integral to traditional Indian jewelry. Women usually wear them in pairs, one or more on each arm. Indian women typically prefer glass or gold bangles or a combination of the two. Today, however, plastic bangles are becoming more popular than the more expensive glass bangles. But special occasions such as festivals and marriages will still call for the more traditional glass bangles. Bangle designs come in a wide variety. Some have simple designs, while others are more ornate and intricate in detail. Gems, diamonds, pearls, or semi-precious stones may be used to embellish them.

"Churha" or the bangles' ceremony is a significant ceremony in the Punjabi marriage. Chooda ceremony is held on the morning of the wedding. The pandit does a puja and the bride's maternal uncles give her a set of choodas (21 bangles in red and white ivory) after washing them in milk. Nowadays the bride often wears 7 or 9 bangles. As per tradition, the bride should ideally wear the chooda for at least a year. Nowadays the bride wears the chooda for a month and a quarter. The bangles range in size according to the circumference of the top of the forearm and the wrist end so that the set fits neatly. For the bride's mother and father the maternal uncle gets gifts - nanke chaak. As a symbol of best wishes and blessings, the sisters, sister-in-law and friends tie kaleeras made of thin silver and plated with gold on an iron bangle worn by the girl. Over the years, the expensive ivory has been replaced by lac and plastic but the custom continues. The bride wears these bangles for a period of three to six months and as long as the bangles are on she is generally pampered as the new bride and not given and kitchen duties to perform. The day she enters the kitchen to work, she takes off her chooda and gifts them to a priest or to the local shrine. coffee shop privacy, Little India, Klang The Little India enclave along Jalan Tengku Kelana, Klang is the biggest Indian street in Malaysia.

Source: Wikitravel I was intrigued by this chinese kopitiam-style cafe. From the outside, it certainly looked cooling, compared to the late morning heat. Stepping in, I felt calmer, unhurried, as if I could take all the time in the world to finish my drink, and I did. Which could be the reason was why my photo outing buddy thought I had gotten lost behind him somewhere :) Related topics: mens white gold jewellery gold diamond cocktail ring cheap gold bar gold band for men gold number 4 gold refining kits pearl white gold pendant thin gold chain necklace rose gold opal ring 14k gold per ounce |
