Significance of Chooda
An elder, often a maternal uncle, gifts the bangles and helps place them on the bride's wrists, and the moment is treated as a blessing for her married life.
History and Origins
The chooda is most closely associated with Punjabi bridal tradition, where red and white (or ivory) bangles have long been part of bridal dress in that region before the custom spread more broadly.
How Used In Wedding
Traditionally the bride keeps wearing the chooda for weeks or months after the wedding, though how long varies by family and personal preference today.
