Trends will come and go. Engraving your husband’s name on your veil might not be cool 30 years from now, or white choodas might start looking dated in the next 20 years, but some things are timeless. Like temple jewellery. These jewellery pieces with carvings of deities like Lord Rama, Goddess Lakshmi, Lord Ganesha, are more than just jewellery pieces—they are pieces of art. With every little detail carved to perfection, the images of these Gods are brought to life with impeccable craftsmanship. What really is the king, when it comes to temple jewellery, is the intricacy. A good piece of temple jewellery, when you look closely, should reveal a whole world within it. When you look close enough, you should be able to notice the folds on the lotus flower that Goddess Lakshmi is sitting on, the broken tusk of Lord Ganesha, the tiny temple guards outside the temple of Lord Rama. Details so intricate, you wonder how human hands can create something so incredible.
Here are our favourite temple jewellery pieces wear on your big day, and pass down through generations.
