Village: भादली - Bhadali


G:XIX-1.1k (G19-01-01k) - Wife with a living husband / Kuṅku / Kuṅku considered as make-up

For a married woman, kunku* has a very special value. Nobody can have a right on her Kunku*, her husband, which is a matter of pride, her status, her position in the society which she loves to display openly. Ornaments, clothes can be exchanged among friends and family. But her husband belongs only to her. Hence, for her, kunku* is the most important ornaments Some women cover their gold ornaments behind the end of the sari, which also implies that they like to hide some facts but, the woman proud of her kunku* is transparent. She doesn’t want to hide anything.

nākāmadhyē natha sārā śinagāra pivaḷā

Nose-ring in the nose, the whole make-up looks yellow like gold
