	what is the significance of wearing: nose-ring, bindi, Mehendi, and Mangalsutra? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Mangalsutra is the most important ornament of a married woman, without which every other is incomplete.....
		This is what I found: 1) The Tying of the Mangalsutra This ritual has the groom praying to the Gods to bless the sacred necklace, the Mangalsutra, and to give his bride a long and happy life.

		The original concept of the mangalsutra was that of a fl row of beads to ward of the evil eye.

		I found from the web that the variations in the Mangalsutra and the way it is made / arranged varies from region to region.
		In this context, it is interesting to learn that the tying of the mangalsutra, which means auspicious thread or cord, is not a religious practice but a social one, and that too of recent origin.
		For Hindu women, the mangalsutra or "Thali" is the one single symbol of their wedded state.

	Mangalsutra (1981)
		Mangalsutra was a departure from the norm in that the victim of the disgruntled spirit was not the usual pubescent girl but a full-grown man.
		The first third of the film is rather tedious with romance taking precedence – a number of forgettable songs establishing our couple to be the perfect match made in heaven.
		Even the local wildlife isn’t too thrilled at the prospect as they unleash a particularly vicious bull to wreak havoc on the bride’s (baraat) entourage.
