What does it mean for Indian women to wear nose rings?

There is only one possibility for a woman to wear a nose ring in India, and that is that the woman is married.

In fact, this custom of wearing nose rings was spread into India from abroad. At that time, the nose ring was worn on the nose of the cow. First, it was convenient for people to tame the animal. Second, it was also to declare the property rights of the animal, indicating that it had an owner. Young girls who are not married in India are not allowed to wear nose rings, so the nose ring is not an ornament, but is used to distinguish whether the woman is married or not.

The status of women in India is very low, such a nose ring is equivalent to a man declaring ownership. In India, the women here are very obedient to their men. Even if a man is weak and incompetent outside, his identity changes greatly when he returns home.

So if you meet a woman with a nose ring on the streets of India, don’t provoke it, it is very disrespectful to their men. The outsider left after asking a question, but this woman may have been beaten by her husband at home because of an unintentional mistake. So it’s better to avoid it.

Nose ornaments, including nose rings, nose studs, etc. Originally, this kind of thing came to India from the Arab countries, and its original meaning was that people passed the animal lead rope tied through the nostrils of the animal, indicating absolute “ownership” of the animal. Unexpectedly, the symbolism in it was fully exploited by Indian men, who quickly tied nose ornaments to women.

Today, nose rings and nose studs have become a symbol of Indian women’s marriage.

Indeed, Indian women have a wide variety of jewelry, which can be roughly divided into earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets, bracelets, hair accessories, forehead accessories, pectoral accessories, anklets… This ancient country is very particular about jewelry. They think: “Jewelry is a half of a woman’s life.”

Ran said that rich and noble wives and young ladies often do everything possible to dress themselves up with jewelry. Even Xiaojiabiyu or poor women will spend all their money on finding a few ordinary jewelry or plastic accessories as substitutes. This kind of feeling is very much like Xi’er tying a red head rope. It is just the jewelry of Indian women, which is much more grand than the red head rope.

Indian women’s “nose ornaments” and “ear ornaments” are very ethnic. According to local customs, unmarried girls and married women wear these two kinds of jewelry, and their hairstyles are also completely different.

Unmarried girls generally do not wear nose ornaments. It is only worn solemnly when getting married.

It is said that there is also a popular “auspicious mole” in India, that delicate color can be red, yellow, purple, or black, mainly according to the color of the clothes. Auspicious moles can not only beautify, but also ward off evil. Tourists who have been to India will find that women of different ages, regardless of their official status, are without exception, and a bright “red dot” is placed in the middle of the forehead.

Even an amazing woman like Sonia Gandhi got her first “lucky mole” in front of her husband Rajiv Gandhi on their wedding day. As for the traditional “nose ornaments” and “ear ornaments”, one is naturally indispensable.

Married women must pierce their noses and wear precious gold nose rings, and some also use gold chains to connect the nose rings and earrings to form a unique face ornament.

Of course, different regions have different requirements for wearing “nose ornaments” and “ear ornaments”. For example, in the southern regions, brides are pierced on both sides of the nostrils, wearing diamond nose studs, or wearing a pearl-encrusted nose ring under the left nostril, in addition to wearing rings on the toes. In northern regions, brides wear gold nose rings, which are connected by a delicate gold chain, the other end of which hangs over the ear.

In addition to “nose ornaments” and “ear ornaments”, married women in India must also wear a fresher gadget – “foot bells”.

This kind of metal ornament always makes a “ding ding ding” sound. First, it is beautiful; second, it wards off evil spirits; third, it can especially prevent the bride from attracting bees and butterflies, and doing deviant and scandalous things. It seems that under the circumstances of the jewels and Huan Peiding, they finally dressed up a group of beautiful female slaves.
