The age old traditions that vary through the different parts of the seventh largest state, Karnataka have the people following diverse wedding styles in keeping with the rich diversity of the region. The weddings ceremonies are relatively short and are similar to those followed in Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. However, the wedding celebrations in Karnataka extend for a week including pre-wedding, wedding and post-wedding ritual<\/p>\n

The traditional\u00a0Kannadiga bride<\/b>\u00a0wears a beautiful, traditional 9 yards long Nauvari saree. Green glass bangles are must for this bride very much similar to a Maharashtrian bride and a typical sign of the married woman. The saree is white or cream with a red border and a tinge of gold for a stunning yet serene look. With cities turning cosmopolitan, people have also begun adopting customs from the rest of the country leading to Kannada weddings becoming even more colourful!<\/p>\n

A bride is the centre of attraction, the showstopper at every wedding! Jewellery is an essential element that enhances the bride\u2019s charm and beauty.\u00a0Traditional wedding jewellery\u00a0<\/a>is a dream for a Kannadiga bride. Traditional wedding jewellery has Goddess Lakshmi\u2019s image engraved in many designs. The studded items have ruby, coral and emerald as frequently used precious stones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
The Kannadiga bride is adorned with a\u00a0Netri Chutti<\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0Maang Tika<\/b>\u00a0on the forehead to enhance the beauty of her eyes and forehead. The traditional craftsmanship with jewellery embellished lavishly in colourful red, white and other precious stones in varied colours make each piece unique. Muthina Vale Jhimki is a long or short or medium-sized ear embellishment crafted with red and white stones, ruby, pearls or diamonds. Many\u00a0Kannadiga brides<\/b>\u00a0wear Entele Sara; a\u00a0layered chain<\/a>\u00a0that is made of gold beads.<\/div>\n

Navilu Daabu crafted with traditional temple designs with red stones is worn by the bride around the waist to keep the saree borders and garlands in place, though some Kannadiga families prefer a designer waistband now. The Kannadiga bride wears heavy\u00a0traditionally crafted bangles\u00a0<\/a>like\u00a0Guruvina Kada<\/b>\u00a0with red stones, antique finished Kettu Bale, Kasina Bale having an intricate design with coins and Pacha Kampina Bale designed with green and red stones.

Coorg brides wear unique and distinctive pieces of jewellery which are influenced by natural forms like fruits and flowers as well as the Sun, Moon and the Stars. Pathak and Karthamani are mandatory for any\u00a0Coorg wedding<\/b>. The Pathak is worn to mark the status of the bride which is a\u00a0chain of gold\u00a0<\/a>, coral and black beads with a pendant framed by rubies and cobra\u2019s hood figure at the top. She wears another unique ornament which is a must called\u00a0Jomale<\/b>. Jomale consists of grooved hollow beads filled with lac, strung on a black thread cord.

Among Muslims, the bride wears larger ornaments made of gold, gems and precious stones in the form of necklaces, earrings and bangles. An essential ornament which is very common among Muslim brides is a Jhoomar or Pasa which is a triangular fan-shaped ornament similar to Maang Tika, but put on the left side instead of the central part of the hair. An exclusive floor \u201cMuhurat\u201d has been launched by Kalyan Jewellers that showcases exquisite collections of different kinds of bridal jewellery including the jewellery described above as well as much more to make the bride a showstopper on her special day!<\/div>\n
