Not only that, while the wedding festivities may not seem like a grandiose spectacle, they are every bit a rich and classy affair \u2013 what with all the women donning their best, heaviest, most vibrant Kancheepuram silk sarees and traditional pure gold jewellery.

Whereas Rajasthani brides can\u2019t do without their kundan or polki or meenakari, the Tamil bride\u2019s jewellery is as colourful as her saree, consisting of rubies, emeralds and pearls set in intricate gold work. The Tamil bride also has the distinction for being the most ornately decked out \u2013 from the unique hair ornaments, to exquisite necklaces, she has the pick of the best for her special day!<\/p>\n<h1><strong>Tamil Brahmin Bridal Head Ornaments<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>The hair jewellery worn by the Tamil bride is the most unique, and what sets her apart from other brides. The&nbsp;<strong>Nethi Chutti<\/strong>, the&nbsp;<strong>Suryapirai&nbsp;<\/strong>and the&nbsp;<strong>Chandrapirai<\/strong>&nbsp;are distinctive Tamil bridal pieces, made out of pure gold, round-cut rubies, emeralds and pearls. Traditionally, the Nethi Chutti adorns the middle parting of hair as well the hair line on the forehead, and the Chandra and Surya are worn on either side of the parting. However, if the bride wants to don a more contemporary look, she may opt for a single-chain Nethi Chutti that simply sits on the parting and forego the Surya and Chandra altogether. Cosmopolitan Tamil brides are now even choosing minimalistic pendant Nethi Chutti or the north Indian inspired kundan Nethi Chutti for their receptions. However, for the wedding rituals, nothing pairs as beautifully with a rich silk saree as the traditional Kemp Nethi Chutti with the Surya and Chandra.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1634689 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1634689\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b207f43\" data-id=\"b207f43\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-199d42d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"199d42d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"200\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thangamayil.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Picture23.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thangamayil.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Picture23.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.thangamayil.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Picture23-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thangamayil.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Picture23-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7f475ce elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7f475ce\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f49528a\" data-id=\"f49528a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b8cdb46 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b8cdb46\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Famous Indian actress, sporting a variety of Nethi Chutti in traditional bridal attire<\/em><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not all though.

Made of the same red and green gemstones and pearls, they adorn the entire pinna ending in a bell shaped ornament that hangs from the ear lobe. It pairs beautifully with the traditional Nethi Chutti and gives an adorable look to the bride\u2019s face. To pair with this, brides will wear the Mookuthi \u2013 a simple nose stud or pin, generally set with a single gemstone; the\u00a0<strong>Besari<\/strong>\u00a0which is a small nose ring consisting of eight stones and the\u00a0<strong>Bullaku<\/strong>, another nose ring that hangs over the cupid\u2019s bow.

Every Tamil bride wears the\u00a0<strong>thali<\/strong>, of course, as part of the rituals that signify her being married. Other than that, Tamil bridal jewellery has some very unique necklaces that resemble the rich culture, bounty and beauty of south India. The\u00a0<strong>kaasu maala<\/strong>, a chain made of gold coins; the\u00a0<strong>maanga maala<\/strong>, a chain consisting of small paisley or mango shaped motifs or the\u00a0<strong>kodi maala<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 each of the bride\u2019s neck pieces tells an interesting story. The bride is free to wear all or any of these. To these she may also add a single or layered gold chain or an\u00a0<strong>addigai<\/strong>\u00a0which is similar to a pendant. All of these necklaces are crafted in the brightest yellow gold and some are studded with emeralds and rubies. The necklaces are arranged beautifully, one below the other so as to cover the bride\u2019s entire d\u00e9colletage, giving her a rich and royal look.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-311998a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"311998a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"200\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thangamayil.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Picture43.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thangamayil.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Picture43.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.thangamayil.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Picture43-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thangamayil.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Picture43-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-002dec5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"002dec5\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3909599\" data-id=\"3909599\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e14263b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e14263b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Tamil bride\u2019s Arms and Hands:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>vanki<\/strong>\u00a0(armband),\u00a0<strong>valayal<\/strong>\u00a0(bangles) and the\u00a0<strong>neli<\/strong>\u00a0(ring) make up most of the jewellery for the bride\u2019s arms and hands.

The bangles may be studded with gemstones or in plain gold, called as\u00a0<strong>Kappu<\/strong>. It is entirely upto the bride how many bangles she chooses to wear.

When it comes to the\u00a0<strong>neli<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 the bride may adorn traditional ornate rings studded with rubies or corals or emeralds; or she may opt for more contemporary, delicate designs that she can wear on a daily basis later on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The final touch \u2013 waistband &amp; anklets:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No bride will want to forego the traditional\u00a0<strong>oddiyanam<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 a beautiful waist belt tied around the saree.

The oddiyanam adds definition to the bride\u2019s silhouette and brings the entire look together.<\/p>\n<p>And of course, last but not the least \u2013 every Tamil bride loves to don the traditional silver anklets \u2013 called\u00a0<strong>silambu<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>silangai<\/strong>; along with the toe ring, called minji. The wearing of the\u00a0<strong>minji<\/strong>\u00a0is an important ritual in the ceremony. The groom places the minji on the bride\u2019s second toe, to signify commitment.
