Gold Jewelry

Gold is a metal that lures many. It gives the security against any financial crisis, because of its easy liquidity, and is also used by women for adorning themselves. Traditionally, gold has been considered auspicious among Hindus and is regarded to be symbolic of Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth. Gold is symbol of perfection, immortality and prosperity; it is the substance that myths and legends are made of. It is a favorite for making jewelry, for the reason that it is anti-rust and has an everlasting shine.

Kancheepuram in southern India and Varanasi in northern India have been the centre of gold jewelry making since the historic times. Gold has been used in making of brocades and weaving. Zardozi, which was brought in India by Mughals, used gold thread is in embroidery. An excellent craft, it is quite popular even today. Like other jewelry products, gold jewelry is typical to the region. Design and pattern of gold jewelry differs according to the area and tradition carried on historically

In south India, on Dhanteras evening, preparations are made for a sacred bath to be taken early next day - on Narakchaturdashi. Water pots are cleaned, venerated, decorated with marigolds and mango leaves and filled with water. They are heated next morning and the hot water is used for ritualistic baths for the destruction of sin and ignorance. Traditional sweets like laddus, chaklis, sakkaparas, and badam halwa are very much a part of the revelry.

There is an interesting legend related to this festival. There was a certain king Hima whose son was predestined to die by a snake bite on the fourth day of his marriage. But on that day, his wife kept him awake and laid all her ornaments at the entrance. As it was destined, god of death 'Yama' disguised as a snake tried to enter the Prince’s chamber but was bedazzled by the lights of ornaments and went away without completing his mission. Hence on this day a diya is kept burning whole night on Dhanteras in the name of Yama
