Question

______________ and ______________ are symbols of Hindu married women.

Hint:

Mangalsutra around the neck and Sindoor in the hair parting — both are visible signs of a married Hindu woman.

Answer 1

The two traditional symbols of Hindu married women are Mangalsutra and Sindoor.

Mangalsutra: It is a sacred necklace made of black and gold beads, tied around the bride’s neck by the groom during the wedding ceremony. It symbolizes marital status, love, and commitment.
Sindoor: A red or vermillion powder applied in the parting of the hair (maang) by married Hindu women. It is a sign of their marital status and is considered a mark of respect and blessing for their husbands.
These symbols are deeply rooted in Indian tradition and are associated with the long life and well-being of the husband.
