Description :
Maharashtrian jewellery includes specific pieces for adorning women from head to toe. On the head, on either side of the central parting of the hair would be worn the chandra - a moon shaped ornament and surya - a sun shaped ornament. Flower shaped ornaments were particularly favoured for decorating the hair, as srings of fragrant, real flowers were often affixed to plaits or chignons. For holding up a pony tail or plait, would be a moud, while an agraphool could also be worn in the chignon. It is a round piece with a fifure in the centre and petals in the edges. It is often in two pieces and worn on either side of the Chignon. . Next are balis or rings and at the lower most portion is the bokra a small chandlier like ornament made of pearls resembling pearl jhumkas or the kudi, a typical Maharashtrian earring that has a central pearl surrounding with seven pearls around it. This pattern of the kudi is also repeated in diamonds. The nath is probably the most identifiable piece of Maharashtrian jewellery and is a relatively large piece. Worn on the left nostril, it almost touches the upper lip. For everyday use a small chamki is often worn, which could be a single pearl, gold bead or single stone Maharashtrian jewellery, which despite modern influences has restrained a continue of traditional patterns. Generally Maharashtrian families preferred pearl jewellery followed by gold and silver. The reason for partiality towards pearls can be traced to the 17th and 18th centuries when the Marathas were involved with several military campaigns. As their army depended on its cavalry they sought fine horses from the Arabs; who in turn also brought along large quantities of the then readily available Basra pearls from the Middle East - which in due course were converted into jewellery.
