TEMPLE JEWELLERY

India is known for its intricate artwork, something which can be seen in jewellery too. There are several kinds of traditional jewellery artwork which is popular in India, one of which is temple jewellery.

Origin of temple jewellery

Temple jewellery is believed to have originated somewhere in the 9th century during the reign of the Chola dynasty. Back then, this kind of jewellery was used to decorate the idols and Gods and Goddesses in temples, and hence, the name.

Temple jewellery made a grand comeback a few years ago.Temple jewellery is a huge hit among the female buyers of all ages and graced the appearance of brides and guests at weddings.

Edu Vaarala Nagalu

I am very happy to start my blog with this edu vaarala nagalu as my first post... many of the younger generations are not familiar with this word and it's history due to the latest variety  jewellery in the market and due to less knowledge regarding our Indian history...

Edu Vaarala Nagalu means the jewellery worn by men or women for each day of the week. Edu means seven. Vaaralu means days -like Sunday Monday etc. and Nagalu means Jewellery. This was a very old tradition and is still followed by few people..

In olden days king and their families use to wear this edu vaarala nagalu.By wearing these, people would benefit from the positive aspects of the planetary influences and bad influences would be reduced. Health, wealth and prosperity, peace of mind, happiness could be got by this.So let's see which planet n gems belongs to which day..Below are picture of the jewellery..
