He is called Shringar and is associated with the veneration of the goddess Sri Lakshmi – she is responsible for material wealth, fertility, beauty. The set consists of bracelets on arms and legs, rings, jewelry for the head, belt, etc.
Of particular importance in jewelry was given to the materials from which they were made. Gold was in high esteem, but it was recommended to be worn only on the upper half of the body as a sign of respect to the goddess Lakshmi. Silver was most often used for legs. It was not by chance that stones, colors, ornaments and forms of jewelry were also chosen.

A special element is bracelets – without them, a married woman will never leave the house. It is believed that their ringing reports about her presence, about the need for attention to her. There is even a “Bracelet ceremony”: a woman wears bracelets throughout her pregnancy, the sound of which distracts demons from the baby. It is believed that the bracelets on the legs scare away snakes, in addition to the fact that they effectively emphasize the elegant ankles.
Rings
