Timaniya is a daily wear necklace having a gold pendant comprising of three golden capsules inter connected vertically (usually). Its importance is self-explanatory as it is often used as “Mangal Sutra”, essentially worn by married women, with the positivity of long and healthy life of her husband. Red color is considered best for the auspicious and providential reason and so are red pearls/ beads used for making the string, in combination with golden ones. In some cases Black beads are also used.
Mangal Garhwali Jewellery also decorates the wrist with a dynamic wrist wear known as Paunchi (also known as pauchi). It’s a charming Bracelet made of Golden Beads beautifully crafted together with provision of string for embracing the wrist. Its unmatched conventional design distinguishes it and stands unique and sophisticated in its class.
Taste of women may change due to fashion and arrival of new designs but if there is something that’s eternal and permanent, is the value of regional/ traditional jewelry. Passed on through many generations, its emotional value and grows by the time. It is treated as the heritage of the family and inherited by generations to come.
