One thing I noticed in this show, that they don't wear Manglasutra's like anyother saas bahu shows? Is here a reason?

Maybe it's a Rajstani custom where you don't have to wear the Manglsutra…In RKAGB they don't wear Manglsura as well and that show also has Rajastani back drop…

i belong to rajasthan....and in rajasthan it is not essential to wear mangalsutra after marriage....Mnagalsutra is more like a jewellery accesory and can be worn on choice

the mangalsutra was never worn in earlier days in rajasthan, bengal, punjab and most of the north. the sindoor was considered the real mark of a married woman. in maharashtra they wore the mangalsutra, but no sindoor. in the south, esp. karnataka, the toe rings are even more important than the mangalsutra.

the mangalsutra has only come into fashion in a pan indian way recently. nowadays communities that never wore it also wear it, including some muslims. but its worn as a matter of choice, not a trational requirement.

In Andhra, married women must wear Mangalasutra all the time. As it is the indication of husband's life It is inauspicious to remove that anytime. But Mangalasutra here is not the black beads chain with locket . That is actually added to the main mangalasutra which means two gold small discs of 50 np coin size with little flower pattern engraved on the top ( the weight of each disc varries below 10 grams of gold depending on the family custom) tied to a gold chain weighing atleast 3 sovereigns of gold.

The two gold discs are to be presented to the bride by their mother and mother-in-law during the marriage ritual after the precise muhurat. At that time it is tied by the groom with a 22" long 9 layered white thread smeared completely with wet turmeric paste with 3 knots. For each knot there is an oath taken by the groom. Everyone bless the couple throwing akshithas (dry rice grains dipped in wet turmeric paste) There are are many more customs follwed . All the marriage ritauls are witnesed by each and every one who attend the marriage.

On the 16th day after the marriage a festival feast is to be organized to the near and dear ones at the sasural. Then the girl can change and tie the discs in a new gold chain which she should wear lifelong.

I feel It is high time somebody show the south Indian marriage rituals in our serials in Hindi serials also.
