Mangalsutra (मंगलसूत्र) : Explore Mirraw’s Modern Mangalsutra Collection

The term 'Mangalsutra' consists of two separate words; these being auspicious (mangal) and thread (sutra).  Mangalsura is typically made of two strings of black beads connected by a gold pendant. Mangalsutra designs vary by region and personal taste, typically featuring an intricate pendant with intricate designs, religious symbols, or initials. At weddings, grooms typically place it around their bride's neck as a symbol of acceptance and commitment to one another. Mangalsutras have come to symbolize love, commitment and protection in Hindu culture for thousands of years. Modern variations are offered with pendant designs featuring gemstone options as well as detachable features for keeping up with evolving fashion trends.

Mangalsutra Designs have evolved with time, to meet every occasion and outfit. Mirraw offers the latest collection of Mangalsutra chains with pendants in various styles for each event or outfit.

Various shapes and styles, adorned with symbols of family deities or deities like Lord Shiva and Goddess Meenakshi, hold special meaning.
