Bangles are part of traditional Indian jewelry. Bangles are usually worn in pairs, one or more on each arm, and a single bangle is rarely sold. They are made of numerous precious as well as
non-precious materials such as gold, silver, platinum, glass, wood, ferrous metals, plastic, etc. Most Indian women like wearing either gold or glass bangles or both in combination. Bangles made from plastic are slowly replacing glass, but the ones made of glass are still preferred at traditional functions such as marriages and at festivals.
Manali is on the Beas River valley and an important hill station in the Himalayan Mountains of Himachal Pradesh, India, near the northern end of the Kullu Valley. It is administratively a part of the Kullu District. There are actually two parts of Manali --New-Manali town is on the banks of the Beas river and the Old Manali village lies east of the Manalsu nullah, which in its present form, is more of a hippy enclave. Manali is named after the Hindu lawgiver "Manu". The word Manali literally means "the abode of Manu". Legend has it that sage Manu stepped off his ark in Manali to recreate human life after a great flood had deluged the world. Manali is popular as the "Valley of the Gods".  |
