Some of the traditions of wearing jewelry in India are more than 2000 years old.

SARPECH — such items were found already 2000 years ago. This is an ornament that is attached to a turban. It can take half a turban. It is usually worn by men.

A must-have jewelry set for an Indian woman is called Shringar - the Indian canon of beauty and attractiveness, consisting of exactly 16 pieces. All these ornaments are associated with the goddess Sri Lakshmi. She symbolizes beauty, youth and fertility. The number 16 was not chosen by chance - all the demigods of the Hindu religion are 16 years old - it is believed that this age is the bloom of youth and beauty.

Exactly two years ago we flew to India, and today we want to tell you about this trip.
