Shringar has special importance in Indian culture. After marriage, it becomes mandatory for married women in a way. In Indian, especially in Hindu culture, there has been talk of sixteen adornments for women. It talks about the adornment of a bride from head to toe. Gold and silver ornaments have special importance in this adornment. One of these adornments is the anklet on the foot and the toe ring. It is considered very auspicious for newly married brides to wear anklets and nettles after marriage. These things are the sign of a woman’s honeymoon.

In almost all the cultures of the world, the importance of jewelery has been told for women, but in Indian culture it is relatively more important. Along with enhancing the beauty of a woman, jewelry means wealth, power and status. Some people call jewelery as an art form by which a woman presents herself in a better and attractive way. Jewelry also has its own spiritual significance in Indian culture. Through these ornaments, women carry forward the tradition of the family.

For this reason, when jewelery is presented to the daughter-in-law in a family, the family chooses as heavy as possible jewellery. Because this jewelery is also the symbol and bearer of the tradition and status of that family. Along with this, jewelry and its metals are also chosen according to the gods and goddesses in Hindu culture. Blessings are sought from the Gods and Goddesses through these ornaments.

Gold has a very special importance in Indian culture. It is considered the most auspicious metal. It is a sacred metal. There is a belief in Hindu culture that whatever comes in contact with gold becomes sacred. Along with this, it is the symbol of power and wealth. Along with this, it is considered a sign of good health, prosperity and femininity. Apart from this, gold is a very durable metal. Its shine never fades. That’s why Indian families prefer to keep gold jewelery for bad times. Silver is considered the second most important metal in Indian culture after gold. Usually gold and silver ornaments are made only.

Why are anklets and nettles made of silver only?
We spoke to Pandit Akhilesh Mishra, an expert in theology, about this. He says that in Indian culture the human body has been divided into many parts. The part above the waist is considered pure. Whereas the part below the waist is not sacred. In such a situation, gold is a sacred metal and it is also worn by gods and goddesses. For this reason, whatever ornaments are prepared for the organs below the waist, they are not made of gold. In such a situation, silver is used to make ornaments like anklets. It is also said that silver is the metal associated with the moon. It is also a symbol of motherhood and femininity. The effect of negative powers on the wearer also reduces.
