The significance behind the ‘churra’/red bangles
Now, you might’ve seen some brides rocking ‘red bangles’ during and after their wedding. The churra isn’t just a pretty accessory; it’s got loads of cultural mojo. The red ones are all about prosperity and fertility, while the white ones bring in the vibes of purity and simplicity. It’s like wearing good vibes on your wrists!
Here’s the sweet part – the bride gets her chura from her uncle (mama) during the pre-wedding shenanigans. He slips it on her wrists, blessing her journey into marital bliss. It’s not just about the fashion; it’s a symbol of love and mad support.
The churra isn’t a one-day wonder. Nope! The bride flaunts it for around 40 days post-wedding, or until all the cultural and religious rituals are ticked off the list. Some even wear theirs for over a year!
Every churra has a story, connecting the bride to her roots, her folks, and the exciting adventure of married life.
So, the next time you see a Sikh bride rocking those red and white bangles, you know it’s not just about the bling – it’s a cultural masterpiece, a symbol of love, family, and the beautiful journey ahead!
