Baajubandh

Also called Vanki, Armlet

What it is

An ornament worn on the upper arm, above the elbow.

What it signifies

One of the older forms of Indian adornment, appearing consistently in temple sculpture and classical painting. Traditionally worn snugly enough to stay in place unaided.

Across regions

The South Indian vanki is a distinctive inverted-V shape; Rajasthani versions are broader and often set with kundan work.

Solah Shringar is a cultural tradition rather than a requirement — lists differ by region, and including or omitting any item is an ordinary family choice.
