Most Indian weddings are rich in culture and traditions, and they involve quite a few rituals. In Bengali weddings, the bride is given great importance and the rituals are focussed around a rich heritage and cultural aspects. The bride, in her red wedding attire and heavenly traditional get-up, looks surreal. Right from the bride’s accessories to her attire, everything about her has a historical and traditional significance. Let’s explore the four important symbols of marriage for a Bengali-Bihari bride:
Shakha or Shankha
Back in the day, Bengali farmers would collect conch shells to gift them to their wives. These shells were powdered and made into bangles so that the women could wear them. Being white, these bangles signify purity.
Pola
The red bangles are made out of corals. These bangles signify fertility and happiness.
Loha
This is essentially an iron bangle and the bride must wear this only on the left hand. This bangle is usually presented by the groom’s side. This is symbolism for the security of the bride by the groom’s side.
Sindoor
The vermillion on a bride’s head shows that she is already married. Sindoor is applied at the parting of a married woman’s hair.
These four aspects form an integral part of a Bengali-Bihari wedding. You can keep these traditions alive by exploring Pola Badhano bangles from Senco Gold.
