8 Contemporary Mangalsutra Designs

 The mangalsutra, often known as a “suhaag ki nishani” is an indispensable part of a bride. It is considered as a marital symbol among Hindu brides. Traditionally, a mangalsutra is a necklace made of nine black and nine gold beads. Many times Ekta Kapoor has zoomed in on the couple while filming the mangalsutra moment while dramatic music plays in the background. The auspicious thread is getting a contemporary makeover with delicate diamonds ruling the designs. Brides nowadays are opting for more light weight and daily-wear mangalsutras.
