Bangles & Indian Culture




Wearing spangled colorful bangles by females are part of Indian custom and tradition. Single or married, from village girls to city brides, most of the ladies wear them in India. Buying bangles is a great time pass for Indian ladies; they spend hours haggling about the price of the bangles. Besides, there are poets, who have written so many jingles referring to the jangling sounds of bangles from romantic angle.

Bangles are made with different materials like plastic, glass, etc, and they come in different types; toggled ones, dangling ones, etc. Nowadays, they became part of a fashion statement. One can see different international models wearing bangles that go with their modern dresses as part of their trendy fashion. Every Indian woman wears them at some stage of her life and as per Hindu customs, it is a ‘must wearable’ thing for women.

Besides, bangles are used by other businesses in an innovative way. Textile brands are selling readymade dresses sticked with mangled and bungled bangle pieces to add that glittering effect. Toy makers use colored glass bangles for making different toys. For example, to show snake fangles they use broken bangle pieces.

In summary, with their different color combinations, glittering effects, and tinkling sounds, bangles are part of Indian culture.
