India is quite famous for its rich traditional that stretches back to thousands of years. Jewellery has also witnessed many changes since that time .It was around thousands years ago when the curiosity to beautify oneself by adorning some jewellery pieces arouse in the country. Since the beginning of the journey, the charm of jewellery and the beauty of Indian women by adorning it never separated. It is rare to find any woman in India who may not have ever loved to decorate herself with jewellery.
As you know India is culturally very diverse, so the jewellery worn throughout the country is different.
Here I bring a part of my state called Uttrakhand
The term Pahari means people of Uttrakhand
The beautiful Pahari women of Uttarakhand are fond of wearing jewellery specially crafted in silver or gold, adding grace and femininity to their personality. If you have ever visited the hills, you must have seen Pahari ladies donning traditional jewellery pieces and costumes with great pride. But with time, these jewellery pieces are losing their identity as Pahari women are getting more inclined towards the contemporary modern designs and the traditional jewellery pieces have become a rare sight. Now, most of the Pahari women can be seen adorning the modern jewellery designs that are luxe and precious but lacks the elegance found in the traditional designs. So let’s revive the traditional Pahari jewellery by showcasing its lustre to the world.
