Kalira
- 🌸 Meaning and Symbolism
- Kalira are decorative, umbrella-shaped ornaments that hang from the bride’s bangles or chooda (a set of red and white bangles worn by Punjabi brides).
- They symbolize happiness, prosperity, and eternal love in the bride’s new married life.
- Traditionally, they also serve as a reminder for the bride to never forget her parental home even after marriage.
- 🕊️ Ritual and Tradition
- The Kalira ceremony is an important part of the Chooda ceremony, usually held before the wedding.
- Female relatives and friends tie the kaliras onto the bride’s chooda while giving blessings and good wishes.
- In a fun ritual, the bride shakes her kaliras over the heads of unmarried girls—if a piece falls on someone, she’s said to be the next to get married.
