Wearing red Sindoor and bindi are perhaps the most common customs followed by most of the Hindu brides and married women. The himachali and Punjabi brides wear choodha- a sequence of banglesthat are white and red in colour. The custom requires them to wear these bangles for nine, eleven or thirteen months. In olden days, choodha used to be made out of ivory, but not anymore. Coming down to the Northern plains, all married women are supposed to wear red glass bangles and bichiya- the toe ring. They also adorn bright orange sindoor and not the usual maroon one.

Bengali women wear Sankha which is a combination of white and red bangles that signify their marital status. For a Maharashtrian bride, green glass bangles are considered auspicious which she adorns during and after the wedding.
