This is more than just an accessory for Bengalis, as the shaka paula set includes white and red bangles, which are only worn by married women in Bengal. The delicate white (shaka) is made from conch shells, whereas the bright red (paula) is made from corals, which looks iconic with the classic lal paad sada saree. Newlywed married women can pick unique choices of designs that will look beautiful this festive season.
Similar to the traditional Indian naths, Bengali naths are worn during the wedding and consist of a small ring with an attached chain and decorative jhumkis. Made out of pure gold, this delicate chain with a hook end is tagged onto the hair and creates an alluring effect. Many women prefer wearing these stunning naths with pearl accents and dainty floral designs during Durga Puja, which look stunning with Banarasi and Jamdani drapes.
