Bangles or Chudi are traditional ornaments worn by South Asian women, especially Hindus. They are worn after marriage to signify matrimony. They are circular in shape, and, unlike bracelets, are not flexible. The word is derived from Hindi bungri. They are made of numerous precious as well as non-precious materials such as gold, silver, platinum, glass, wood, ferrous metals, plastic, etc. Bangles are part of traditional Indian jewelry. They are usually worn in pairs by women, one or more on each arm. Most Indian women prefer wearing either gold or glass bangles or combination of both. Inexpensive Bangles made from plastic are slowly replacing those made by glass, but the ones made of glass are still preferred at traditional occasions such as marriages and on festivals.
