Mangala sutra
A mangala sutra () is a necklace that a Hindu groom ties around the bride's neck in a ceremony called ''Mangalya Dharanam'' (), which is the main ritual of Hindu marriage ceremony. The woman continues to wear the mangala sutra as a sign of her marital status.〔http://hinduism.about.com/od/matrimonial1/a/mangalsutra.htm〕
This practice is an integral part of a marriage ceremony as prescribed by Manusmriti, the traditional law governing Hindu marriage.
==Introduction==
Mangala sutra literally means "an auspicious thread" which is knotted around the bride's neck 3 times. Three knots symbolize three different aspects of a married woman - the first knot represents her obedience to her husband, the second to his parents and the third represents her respect for God. It is usually a necklace with black beads strung from a black or yellow thread prepared with turmeric. Sometimes gold, white or red beads are also added to the mangal sutra, depending on regional variation. It is a symbol of marriage, comparable to the wedding ring of the West, but is only applicable to women, while men are exempt from this tradition. In certain communities, the groom ties the first of the three knots while his sisters tie the rest.
