What exactly is a parandi? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The classic, yet charming hair ornament finds its roots in Punjab and is often embraced for special occasions like weddings<\/mark><\/a> and other joyous occasions. Time-honoured and associated with royalty, a parandi is considered a symbol of love and solah shringaar<\/em> in the Punjabi culture that a bride-to-be receives from her husband. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skilled artisans from the Patwa clan have long been entrusted with the art of paranda making. Called Patolis, these crafts communities meticulously hand-knot delicate yarn or wool to bring parandis to life. A finished product typically comprises a long bunch of threads, as vibrant tassels or gota ribbons. The ornamental ends, known as the flower, are adorned with fabric flowers, beads and mirrors. Traditionally, parandis are braided into the hair or used as tassel-like decorations at the end to transform a humble plait into a poetic masterpiece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
