Dressed in her lehenga-choli, adorning traditional jewellery like the rakhri, the polki raani haar-bhutti set, and her enameled gold chooda, the Marwari bride exudes a royal aura as she graces the wedding mandap. While taking the 7 steps during the saptapadi, her eyes sparkle with happiness as she takes the vow of being with her beloved till eternity.
The nath is a large, hooped nose ornament, fashioned out of gold, and decorated with a single precious or semi-precious gemstone.
The nath represents the sun, and the long, delicate chain that connects it to the bride’s hair is symbolic of the hemispherical moon. This signifies the coming together of passion and peace in the Marwari Bride's life.
Beautiful Meenakari peacock designs, indicative of the region of Marwar, often decorate the ends of the Marwari kada.
Wearing these kadas in a pair symbolises the Marwari Bride's celebration of her good fortune in finding her life partner.
