Thirumangalyam, Mangalsutra, Thaali of Iyengar
MANGALSUTRA THIRUMANGALYAM IYENGAR

Thirumangalyam, Mangalsutra or thaali of Iyengar consists of a main pendant referred to as the Thali or ‘pottu’ and the two smaller pieces on the side are known as ‘Gundu’. It is a traditional piece of jewelry worn by married women in South India, particularly within the Iyengar community. The specific design of the Iyengar Thali features a central 'U' shape, known as the ‘namam’, which is a significant Vaishnavite symbol. The two lotus flowers on either side of the namam houses Srichakra and Panchajanya are also symbolic, as traditional thali designs often incorporate natural elements like flowers and leaves. The Thali is a central symbol of the sacred bond of marriage, representing the love and respect between a husband and wife. It is fastened around the bride's neck by the groom during the wedding ceremony.
