Plain Gold Bangles

A bangle or bangadi, is a rigid thin continuous circular ring of the size of wrist and derives its meaning from the word, Glass. Glass, however, was not the material with which first bangles were made! The name came into existence later on during 500 B.C. Roman Empire which had advanced glass melting and processing industry. In local Indian languages, the bangles have different names like Bangadi in Maharashtra, Chudi/Choodi in North India, Kada in Punjab and other states and regions also have separate names for bangles.

Origin

Strong evidence from the past attribute that bangles have been in existence since the time of Mohenjo-Daro(2600 B.C.) which is roughly 5000 years from now. Mohanjodaro's famous excavation, the bronze figurine of a dancing girl, shows the presence of wrist ornaments in India. The said figurine has one of her arms on her hip, while the other arm depicts a beautiful collection of bangles! So, bangles are truly a symbol of our ancient history!

Significance: Married Women

It is in a way customary to wear bangles for married women in India. They are an important part of Indian bride’s jewellery. Some communities in India has it customary for a woman to not wear only gold bangles in the wrist but also a glass bangle(known as Kaanchkichoodi), which primarily assures the good health of both husband and son. In some communities, women are superstitious whilst changing bangles; they will never keep their arms to be completely bare. In the eastern state of Bengal, married women follow the tradition of wearing a pair of white and red bangles. Bengalis call these bangles, shakha paula, which literally means sell and red coral! Just like the other Indian states, the shakha paula is a symbol of marriage!

Have you ever come across a Punjabi bride? If yes, you would have definitely observed the chooda that she would be wearing. The ivory bangles depict marriage and are to be worn by the bride for 21 days after marriage or for one year. Though the tradition is slowly become obsolete, in older days, Rajasthani women used to wear ivory bangles, right from the wrist all the way up to their arms!
