Q. What do nose rings symbolize in India?

Answer

The wearing of a bridal nose ring is an essential component of the traditional Indian wedding jewellery ensemble. In Indian customs and culture, the nose ring is regarded as one of the signs of marriage. All Muslim women are expected to wear a nose ring as part of their wedding attire since this jewellery is considered to have particularly positive connotations in Muslim culture. In spite of this, young unwed women in India have begun to wear nose rings as just a wardrobe staple, despite the fact that they do not adhere to any religious views or have any traditional meaning.
