The knot...

How superstitious are you about the wedding knot?
Who's very particular about always wearing their mangalsutra/thali?
Do you believe something terrible will happen if you remove it?
Please describe the kind of wedding knot you wear;do you tend to remove it often to wear jewellery that matches your attire?

Why? I am planning to change mine to a maharashtrian kind....and yes i hardly have mine on.

  1. I do wear the traditional Kannada style one what I got made during the wedding, not bcoz I am superstitious or something, but bcoz I hv never felt I wanted to remove it while wearing other jewellery etc..
    I dnt wear any jewellery when I am @ home though, including my mangalya :)

  2. oh I keep removing it, because I find silver and gold dont match.
    but I have met quite a few ppl who feel that you should never remove it.

    suddenly I have taken a great fancy to the maharashtrian type.
    Btw, how does the Kannada style look like?

  3. I do not wear mine. I have a all-gold Tamil one. I find it heavy and uncomfy. I wear it when I am in India though especially at my inlaws place but if my inlaws visit me I do not wear it. Never at my home. Mine sleeps in my bank safe deposit box. I really think I do not need a chain around my neck to remind me that I am married or that it will protect me from harm. It is just another piece of jewelry. I wear it with big paatu sarees as it adds to the jewelry I wear but that again happens when I am in India and at a wedding.

    I think the Kannada style is similar to Maharashtrian one - black small beads (karugamani). I want a similar one with a diamond pendant and it is more a piece of jewelry than a thali kind of thing.

    Hope that answers all your questions
