And, even today, womenfolk love to enhance their feminine grace and beauty with the help of bangles. Bangles are a type of rigid bracelet jewelry that today comes in many varieties, ranging from colorful plastic bracelets sold at chain stores to intricate, expensive gold jewelry. They are worn all over the world for style and fashion, but bangles originate in a set of specific customs in Indian an
d Pakistani culture. While some Indian men wear a single bangle called a "kara" after marriage, bangles (or "kangan") are almost always associated with Indian women, who wear them for a variety of occasions. Plastic bangles : Plastic bangles are Raja-Tama-predominant. Hence, Raja-Tama-predominant vibrations in the environment are attracted to such bangles and are absorbed by the woman who wears them. As a result, there is a possibility of the woman experiencing distress such as pressure on the head or body, fatigue etc. This explains why one feels distress while looking at plastic bangles. Importance of girls wearing three, or less bangles : Shakti is present in young unmarried girls in an unmanifest form. They also have less amount of sanskars (impressions) in them. Vibrations of Tarak-Shakti are active in girls. By wearing three or less bangles, a slight inertia indicating sound is created in the bangles. Due to this sound, the girl gets the strength to perform a task. Science underlying wearing of more bangles by a newly married woman : Marak (Destroyer) waves are created by the sound of the bangles worn in larger numbers by a newly married woman. With the help of these waves, the newly married woman is protected from the evil-eye and attacks of negative energies. Conclusion : The wearing of bangles by women as advised by Dharma is a practice that goes a long way in increasing her vital energy and protecting her against negative energies.
