An adornment made of gold, silver and other jewels or simply with the crust of a coconut, Kaliren is tied on bride's hands on the morning of the wedding ceremony by sisters, sisters-in-law and friends. Preparing herself for her big day, the bride-to-be indulges in the pre-marital rituals glowing with the happiness of having found someone with whom she would now be able to share her life absolutely. The one person who would be hers' with whom she would share her happiness and her sorrows' with someone who would stand by her and hold her hand through thick and thin' thereby cherishing the rituals that brings her closer to the aspirations of her new dreams. And amongst many rituals that grace the auspicious ceremony of binding two people together for a lifetime, one such ritual that is followed by several Indian cultures is to tie Kaliren to the hands of the bride.
To summarize it all, Kaliren stands for hopes, dreams and desires at the onset of the journey that leads to love and to a path of fulfillment.
Rainbow doesn't need to be called upon to spread its colours across the horizon...
Flowers needn't be asked to spread their fragrance...
And love seeks no permission to enter one's life...
She's Geet Handa...
He's Maan Singh Khurana...
