Chura (bangles)

[5] The bangles range in size according to the circumference of the top of the forearm and the wrist end so that the set fits neatly.

These chudlo bangles are generally red and green in colour to match the Panetar sari.

The Marathi tradition of Hirva chuda during marriage is akin to wearing green bangles during Hariyali Teej in North India.

Loha, a large iron bangle covered with gold is also worn along with Shakha Pola chura.

[9] The Muthi Kharu is a traditional and ethnic bangle worn in marriages by the bride also while celebrating Bihu festival in Assam extensively.

[11][12] In Sindh the traditional churas were rings of ivory covering the fore arms or full arms,[13] these were worn by all sects, religions and classes but unlike other parts of India these were not worn as wedding symbol, as unmarried women would also wear Churas, perhaps only till forearms.

The traditional churas have been completely abandoned by many Sindhi women of Sindh today and have adopted wearing the red coloured churas made of glass worn usually by bride only on the wedding ceremony, for others glass bangles or silver or gold Kangar/Kara (bracelets) are worn.

[20] On an auspicious holiday, usually Sankranti, after the first anniversary her in-laws would hold a small intimate ceremony in which the chura was removed and glass churiyan (bangles) were placed on both hands.

As the chura is made of fragile materials, Indian custom has it that the bride may refrain from heavy housework in her marital home to keep it intact for the 40 days, as a kind of honeymoon.
