Jewels of Raja: Adorn the Festival of Femininity – An Ode to Odisha’s Feminine Spirit with Kalyan Jewellers
Kalyan Blog
As the first drops of rain kiss the Earth and the swings begin to sway in courtyards across Odisha, Raja Parba arrives like a song- festive, feminine, and rooted in tradition. It’s a time when the Earth herself rests, and women are celebrated in all their beauty and grace.
And what better way to honour this festival of womanhood than with the gentle jingle of silver anklets, the most poetic of all adornments!
At Kalyan Jewellers, we believe that silver anklets are not just pieces of jewellery; they are an emotion, a rhythm, a tradition that has danced through generations.
Why Silver Anklets Belong in Every Raja Wardrobe
Raja Parba is synonymous with freedom from chores, swinging high on dolis, colourful attire, and barefoot celebrations on rain-washed soil. And in all this merriment, anklets, or Paunji as lovingly called in Odisha, become the heart of the look.
The cool gleam of silver anklets complements the vibrant cotton sarees, lehengas, or salwar suits worn during Raja. Their delicate designs that are beaded, braided, or embellished with tiny ghungroos add not just beauty but soft music that moves with you.
Day-Wise Styling with Silver Anklets for Raja Parba
Pahili Raja – First Day, First Step
Start the celebrations with light, playful anklets- maybe a twin-chain design with dangling charms or floral engravings. They’re perfect for that first twirl on the swing or when you slip into your bright cotton saree or flowy skirt. Go barefoot, let your silver shine, and let every step sing.
Raja Sankranti – The Heart of the Festival
This is the soul of Raja, the day to feel your most adorned yet grounded. Choose oxidised silver anklets with intricate patterns or classic designs with ghungroos that echo traditional craftsmanship. When paired with alatha-painted feet, they create a look that is timeless and deeply rooted in Odia heritage.
Want to feel a little royal? Go for thicker, statement anklets that still remain graceful. They’ll make a subtle yet striking contrast to soft fabrics and vibrant prints.
Basi Raja – Beauty in Repose
As the festivities wind down, keep it simple yet elegant. A single-line anklet or a minimalist design with soft tinkles is all you need. Whether you’re in a handloom kurti or a light saree, these anklets add charm without overwhelming the look. Perfect for those barefoot garden walks or one last swing before the festival comes to an end.
A Melody of Tradition on Your Ankles
There is something magical about the way silver anklets become a part of you during Raja. They aren’t loud. They don’t compete. But they’re always there- graceful, grounded, and gleaming with nostalgia.
At Kalyan Jewellers, our curated collection of silver anklets captures the essence of Raja Parba, beautifully detailed, crafted to last, and made for moments that matter.
