• During a Hindu wedding ritual, the groom drapes a
  necklace ornament called a mangalsutra around the
  brides neck. This necklace is very significant
  in Hindu culture since it denotes a womans
  marital status. The mangalsutra is one of the
  five symbols of matrimony that women are required
  to wear, along with toe rings, kumkum, bangles,
  and nose rings.
• Hindu customs and culture place a high value on
  this ornament. Women wear it as a decoration to
  indicate their marital status. Hindu married
  women in India wear it as a lucky thread of
  friendship and love. Therefore, it is regarded as
  a sacred Hindu tradition for the groom to tie the
  Mangalsutra around the brides neck during the
  wedding rituals.

Symbolism of Mangalsutra

• It may merely appear to be a piece of jewelry,
  but it is much more than that. It is a promise
  given by the husband to the wife to remain
  together forever and is worn as a symbol of
  marital status. Additionally, it safeguards the
  husband and wife from all the evil in the world
  and represents the union of two souls (husband
  and wife). Therefore, a Hindu married lady must
  wear a mangalsutra to protect both her marriage
  and her husbands life.

Importance of Wearing

• Typically, it is a black beaded chain made of
  fine gold wire with the latest diamond
  mangalsutra designs. The black beads and gold
  wire are intended to cancel out the disturbing
  vibrations. Before the bride and her family may
  be negatively affected, the black beads absorb
  the energy. It is essentially serves as a
  protective cocoon around a womans body,
  shielding the marriage from any bad.
• The three knots on the ties stand for crucial
  components of marriage. The first knot stands for
  her devotion to her spouse, the second for her
  dedication to her husbands parents, and the
  third for her reverence for God.
• Married women are expected to wear this for the
  rest of their lives since it is thought to
  improve her husbands and her familys wellbeing.
• The mangalsutra represents the marriage between
  Shakti and Shiva (husband and wife) (wife).

Mangalsutra Pendant

• Small gold pendants in the shape of cups are
  occasionally seen. These are referred to as
  vatis. This is frequently chosen as the standard
  mangalsutra pendant throughout many
  civilizations. You might have one vati or two
  vatis in your mangalsutra. Tamilians and
  Maharashtrians favour two vatis.
• The utilization of the dome-shaped spherical vati
  stems from its capacity to emit the most waves
  when compared to other designs. The
  Anahata-Chakra is facing the vatis. This aids in
  a womans ego and other bad feelings dissipating.
• Because it is thought that any additional design
  will hinder the good vibrations, the vati
  normally has no design on its surface.

• Two spherical gold beads are positioned between
  the vatis for even higher levels of uplifting
  vibrations. Each vati has a flower design at the
  top to help draw good fortune in terms of
  material goods.
• According to Hindu tradition, the two black
  beaded chain strings that make up a classic
  mangalsutra symbolize the marriage of Shiva and
  Shakti.

• The brides Anahat Chakra, also known as the
  Heart Chakra, is positioned in the middle of the
  spine, next to the heart, and is typically
  reached by the length of a mangalsutras chain.
• This indicates that the appropriate chain length
  should be between 24 and 30 inches.
• Anahat Chakra, which also translates to infinite
  sound, is related to equilibrium, composure, and
  peace.
