Mango necklace, or Manga Mala or Managa Malai, is a traditional bridal accessory in South India. It is so important in South Indian weddings that the bridal look is considered incomplete without it. It is a cherished piece of bridal jewelry, often made of gold and studded with traditional gemstones. It is called a mango necklace because it features repeating mango-shaped motifs.
Since these motifs are in the shape of a mango, they carry a lot of meaning. In Indian culture, a mango tree symbolizes love, prosperity, and fertility.
These necklaces are also considered heritage ornaments, passed down through generations as heirlooms. The mango necklace is not just an accessory but a symbol of marital tradition.
Types of Mango Mala
You can choose from various types of Mango design necklace sets. Some of its common types include:
Traditional Mango Necklace: These necklaces are made of pure gold and feature multiple mango-shaped motifs linked together in a long, flowing design.
Embedded with Semi-Precious Stones, Jewels, or Pearls: This type of Managa Malai is embedded with diamonds or pearls and precious or semi-precious stones. These necklaces look very bright and colorful.
Temple Mango Necklace:These necklaces are inspired by deities and temple carvings. Along with that, it also contains detailed mango motifs, Goddess Lakshmi, elephants, or peacocks
Short Necklace:This type of Mango necklace generally has a few motifs attached to a small gold chain; perfect for women who like simple jewellery.
Mango Choker: For those who prefer lighter options, a silver choker necklace with mango-inspired designs is perfect. This is a modern take on this traditional necklace. While the classic mango mala is long and heavy, the choker version is short, stylish, and sits high on the neck, offering a modern yet cultural aesthetic.
Mango Haram:A Mango Haram is a type of haram necklace, traditionally long and beautifully designed with repeating mango-shaped motifs that reflect South Indian culture.
