Sixteen woman jewelry

In the culture of India, everything is symbolic, everything is a metaphor. Decorating a visible, material body, Indians express longing for their divine nature. For many Hindus, beautiful clothing is one way of worshiping God.

Elegantly dressed woman - the personification of the ideal beauty and mystery inherent in nature and music. Each part of the decoration is justified and consistently woven into the general pattern of symbolic forms and images.

It is believed that only that which is decorated with a pattern is beautiful. The verb alamkara (alam-kara) literally means "decorate," "do enough." Accordingly, a simple look, without an ornament, is "not enough", bad, shameful, shocking, suitable only for an ascetic.

Shringar - the so-called full decoration of a woman. It includes 16 attributes associated with sixteen phases of the moon, which, in turn, are associated with the female lunar cycle. So 16 is a special number.

The name Sringar is associated with Sri Lakshmi - the goddess of female beauty, good luck, prosperity and fertility, the ideal wife of Vishnu.

In the spiritual world, the demigods are eternal 16 years.

This is the most beautiful and energetic human age. At 16, the girl has all the perfections, she is at the peak of physical development. Her nature is to play, to seek new impressions, to charm everyone around. Her innocence attracts, everything in her is true and good.

Bindi is a small decorative point in the center of the forehead between the eyes. In metaphysical language, this is a place of infinite potential from which all manifest existence arises. This is the mystical third eye - a channel of wisdom and sublime intuition, divine knowledge. Eyes are often compared to the sun and moon. Another symbolic meaning is fire. Two eyes can see only the past and present. The third eye is empowered to see the future.

2. Sindur (Vermilion)

Sindur is a deep, blood-red powder, with which they draw a red strip in the parting of the hairstyle. This jewelry is used exclusively by married women. Sindur is an important component in Hindu deities (pujas). Red color is a symbol of fertility and restoration of power, female energy of Sati and Parvati. Sati is the wife's ideal in Hinduism because of the sacrifices she makes to protect the honor of her husband.

The goddess Parvati bestows lifelong happiness on married women who put a sindur on a parting in their hair. In addition, it is believed that the applied syndrome helps to avoid problems with wrinkles and in general with the skin, it also protects against malicious intent.

At a more practical level (especially in India, where marriages are said to be made in heaven), the Sindur loudly and passionately proclaims the status of a woman as belonging to only one man.

Women get their first experience with a syndrome during their wedding ceremony. The groom invites all guests to come and bless his bride.

When everyone gathers, under the words of blessing, he performs Sinduradana, that is, inflicts a Sindur on the head of his bride. Sometimes this ceremony is called "Sumangali." Sinduradana is a hallmark of modern weddings in India.

Muslim women in India also apply sindur on their hairstyles to indicate their marriage status.

Tika is a pendant consisting of a chain with a hook at one end and a pendant at the other. It is worn, like the sindur, in the middle.

The pendant should hit exactly the center of the forehead. This place is considered the home of the Ajna Chakra. Thus, the woman repeats her status as married.

It is noteworthy that the ajna chakra is visualized as two petals. Her supreme deity Ardhanarishvara is a half-man, half-woman. This means the ultimate union where duality does not exist.

From a tantric point of view, this means the union of masculine and feminine principles in nature at all levels, including the physical. Consequently, tika is a symbol of a woman who preserves the vows of marriage, gives new life to the clan and becomes a part of it.

  Your camp is ravishing in the yellow silk of the robe.
  In a garland of tender lotuses you shine similar
  On gold and silver dazzling skin.
  Admit you are the goddess of passion, beautiful Rati?
  Otherwise, where would such grace come from?
  Fine sharp straight teeth innocently
  They sparkle with their whiteness, like jasmine buds.
  Eye squirrels turned red from tears, but

  With a guise like a fruit in bulk, with a velvety blush,
  With a captivating laugh, with tightly pressed breasts
  Friend to friend, that perfect pearls adorned wonderfully!
