To enjoy a seamless experience while shoppingKnown by different names in different communities & regions of India, the Mangalsutra is a neck ornament of black and golden beads worn by married women, tied by their husbands as part of marriage ceremonies. It signifies the sacred bonding of love and regard that a married couple has for each other. It is worn by the lady at all times and is one of the most important or profound signs of being married, amongst sindhoor, toe rings, bangles, wedding ring and other items. In some families, the Mangalsutra is passed on as an heirloom piece by the groom’s mother or grandmother to the bride; or in some others, it may be gifted by the bride’s mother to her.
Over the years and ages, as choices have changed and become bolder, the Mangalsutra design too has been through revolutionary changes; perhaps the most obvious one being its size and expanse. Modern day designs have become compressed within a limited space, to give the piece a minimal look and yet be wearable with any outfit to any place. One reason could also be that it has now become a fashion accessory or a necessary piece of jewellery worn by women. To not make their marital status very obvious, fearing it may not match with certain modernized outfits, women have demanded that the Mangalsutra design be revised to give it a stylish appeal. Fashion / jewellery designers are therefore added a modern appeal to it, such that, at times, it can also be worn as a festive diamond necklace. Such that it is hardly distinguishable.
In different parts of India, apart from Christians and Muslims, nearly every other community encourages Mangalsutra for married women. Latest Mangalsutra designs involve more of star diamonds, or even gemstones and less of the ancient golden look to it. The black beads may be retained or else it can be replaced entirely by a very sleek golden chain. Modern designs are usually spaced out and less cluttered; they look simple yet classy. Some Tanmaniyas are accompanied by the chain, or in some cases, only the tanmaniya pendants are sold, chain is available separately.
Most North Indians love to show off their jewellery for the effort and money they invest in it. That’s so cool, isn’t it? One may find that even their daily wear Mangalsutra pendants are a bit heavy and elaborate in design and weight. Also, their Mangalsutra chains may be longer instead of being shorter, the way modernists prefer. One may find remarkable differences in the designs from different states, each one attached to a different significance, culturally.
