Colorful Punjabi Chooriyan for brides

The Punjabi Chooriyan, commonly known as Choora is a set of bangles that are usually red and white, sometimes the red bangles are replaced with another hue , but they are generally only two hues. They are worn by an Indian bride on her wedding day.

This is a custom that originated in Punjab, North India. It is a highly rated custom in Hindu families, Sikhs also pursue the custom, whereas it is mainly a Hindu tradition along with Sindhoor and mangalsutra. Choorae (plural) may contain different tinted bangles in diverse blends, but the most widespread combination is red and white. The choora is worn by the bride for 40 days from the day she puts it on and on the 40th day only her married man can remove it for her. She can wear other choora after that for as long as she likes in any colour.

The choora observance is held on the morning of the wedding. The bride's maternal uncle and auntie give her a set of choorae (21 bangles in red and white ivory). Nowadays, the bride often wears 7 or 9 bangles. According to custom, the bride should ideally wear the choora for at smallest a year. It is now usual for the bride to wear her Punjabi chooriyan for a month and a quarter (40 days). The bangles range in dimensions according to the circumference of the top of the forearm and the wrist end so that the set aligns precisely.

During the vintage days, the bride would wear a choora for a full year with the Punjabi juttis and Punjabi suits. When the color begun to fade, her in-laws would really have it recolored, so everyone understood she was a freshly wed (less than a year of marriage). On an auspicious Hindu holiday, usually sangrand, after the 1st celebration her inlaws would hold a little intimate observance in which the chura was removed and glass churiyan (bangles) were put on both hands. This usually was escorted with mithai (indian sweets) and a monetary shagun. The Punjabi chooriyan are then taken to a stream and a prayer is said and it is left to float up on the water.
