Pratigya-No Mangalsutra?

Is it me or doesnt Pratigya not wear a mangalsutra? Arent u meant to wear one after marriage or is just having a sindoor enough?Edited by Mo710 - 12 years ago

I have always wondered also why Pratigya never wears a Mangalsutra. Maybe different regions and different castes have different norms. In South India, as far as I know importance is given to Mangalsutra than sindoor. so, may be in SS's family Mangalsutra need not be worn ?

I think for them sindoor is important and she always wear that. if i remember correctly amma and kesar also don;t wear mangalsutra. only arushi and now ganga r wearing. so i think only second marriage girls wear that. 😕i am confused why cv's show different with different characters in the same show.

i think mangulsutar is not important sindoor is enough...

not everyone one wears them - but sindoor/bindi most do.. Edited by kEEnkEEn - 12 years ago

Mangalsutra is a symbol of Hindu marriage union in South Asia. It is a sacred thread of love and goodwill worn by women as a symbol of their marriage. Traditionally the mangalsutra is considered the most revered token of love and respect offered to the bride during the marriage ceremony.

It is comparable to the wedding ring of the West. A married woman is expected to wear the mangalsutra until her husband's death. It is tied around the neck of the bride on the day of marriage symbolizing the union.

I think, as per CV'S only girls on second marriage wear Mangalsutra ❓... rightly pointed out by laks76 !!!

May be, it is a personal choice for many women to wear it or not...

It's based on regional preferences. I had to wear one till 6 months, and now it's mandatory that I wear sindoor everyday. I wear my sindoor inside my hair's parting, so it's not visible. Edited by Hot_Indo_Chilly - 12 years ago

In north India sindoor is complusory not mangalsutra even my mom does not wear mangalsutra for us in Allahabad sindoor and bindi is complusory for married woman,cvs are not doing any mistake in showing this.
