As a bride or bride-to-be, there are so many traditions and rituals we have to be a part of or carry forward with ourselves to keep our roots alive. Getting married may evoke similar feelings in all brides, but the experience differs massively for each bride, depending on her culture and tradition. For instance, Rajasthani brides and Borla or Lahariya Odhni, Himachali brides and Thipu, or Bengali brides and mukats.
And if you're a Punjabi bride in this mix, you get to adorn chooda (chura), a staple of newlywed brides and a symbol of love, prosperity, fertility, and marital happiness.
Wearing a chooda isn't just like wearing a piece of accessory, it's a whole mood, and a super pure and raw emotion. Whether you're going the traditional route and opting for the classic red and ivory chooda or you're picking up on trends and getting yourself something in pink or matching with your bridal lehenga— wearing a chooda is probably one of the best parts of being a new bride and deserves as much attention and detail as your bridal lehenga.
And what better place to go chooda shopping than Delhi? From the lanes of Karol Bagh to the corners of Lajpat Nagar, we have curated a list of chooda stores in Delhi that we have visited or tried out.
