lakshmi haar

Indian jewelry is famous for its symbolic temple jewelry. Some of the most popular temple jewelry designs come from a state in India called Maharashtra, which is known for its unique and exquisite designs and crafting. The beautiful gold ornaments worn by Maharashtrian brides are truly captivating with their signature styled necklaces, nose-pins and bangles. Maharashtrian necklaces are also very popular because they are made in vibrant color combinations and are hand carved in ethnic designs.

The jewelry from Maharashtra is mainly derived from the jewelry of the Peshwa Dynasty. It is difficult to spot a traditional bride from this state who does not wear uniquely designed pieces of jewelry such as ‘thushi’, ‘chooda’, ‘jodvi’, ‘mohanmal’, ‘Kolhapuri saj’, ‘bajuband’ and the ‘laxmi haar’. These ornaments have their exclusive beauty, but the exotic beauty of the ‘Lakshmi haar’ or the Lakshmi necklace is unparalleled. It is also known as ‘coin necklace’ or ‘temple necklace’, and forms an essential part of the temple jewelry.

A Lakshmi haar looks very elegant on a woman's neck and bestows her with a royal look. These chains come in a variety of designs and models, but the traditional Lakshmi haar has a significant pendant in the middle in the shape of Goddess Lakshmi. Lakshmi haar is a necklace representative of the culture and grace of Maharashtrians. This temple jewelry necklace is sought for its royal appeal and is still very much in demand among modern women.
