Mangalsutra

A mangalsutra is a traditional necklace worn by married Hindu women as a symbol of marital status and commitment. Typically made of black and gold beads with a pendant, it signifies the husband’s presence and protection. The mangalsutra is often given during a wedding ceremony and is worn daily as a sign of the couple's bond. Its design and significance can vary across regions and communities, but it universally represents love, respect, and lifelong partnership in Hindu culture.
