Unique Jewellery: From Shankha Pola to Dejhoor: Unique jewellery of married women across India
A married Hindu woman, particularly in North India, often wears a mangalsutra at all times after marriage. This sacred necklace symbolizes the marital bond and is believed to protect the husband from evil eyes. Hindus also believe that the mangalsutra represents the power of Lord Shiva and his wife, Goddess Shakti. Made from gold and black beads, the gold represents Shakti, and the black beads are considered the third eye of Lord Shiva, believed to ward off negativity.
