Other important ornaments are finger rings, toe rings and anklets. Rings for the fingers are again, of various materials and designs and worn by unmarried and married women. Since the ring has become a common adornment, it is no longer considered a symbol in Indian marriages.
However, toe rings and anklets are still worn mostly by married women. Ornaments for the feet are usually made of silver because gold, being a 'pure' metal, was not supposed to be worn on the feet. This privilege was given only to women of royal Indian families.
In addition to these ornaments is the 'mangatika' or 'tikli'. This ornament, worn at the top of the forehead in the parting of the hair, is usually a small pendant on the end of a chain that is clasped to the hair. Although traditionally this ornament was also worn as a symbol of marriage, today it is not so commonly worn even by married women.

KURTI : Kurtis are nothing but short kurtas that are longer than a t-shirt and shorter than a full length kurta. Kurtis have now been an essential part of every woman’s wardrobe. The best part of dressing in a kurti is the fact that they are extremely comfortable and light and can be worn for hours at a stretch. Especially in summer when it is so hot, kurtis are the best bet. Be it college going girls or middle aged women; kurtis are popular across all age categories. Kurtis are worn with jeans, make it the perfect blend of Indian and western fashion. Indian traditional block printed kurtis which are available at a reasonable rate are worn by most urban women and can be seen on the busy shopping streets of Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and other places. Kurtis are available in various materials. Kurtis worn during the months of summer are usually made of thin silk or cotton fabrics while winter season kurtis are made of fabrics like Khadi silk, jute and other thick fibers. Chikan embroidered cotton kurits are very much in trend as the subtle effect of this embroidery on the kurti makes it rich and appealing in all senses. One can even paint a simple khadi kurti with designs, patterns and colours one wishes to be in.
Special cuts in kurtis are now being experimented with. For example, Rani Mukherji Kurtis in the film 'Bunty aur Babli' went on to become highly popular amongst the college crowd. Even the kurtis worn by many other actresses in various films are trendy and stylish. While you can experiment with the style, keep your body type in mind and choose a well fitting kurti. Many people also prefer wearing designer kurtis that are beautifully adored with golds and shimmers to wedding occasions. One can pair these kurtis up with embroidered denims or tight fitting churidaars.
Kurtis that are in trend this season are frock-styled kurtis that are well fitting from the top on the shoulders and then flow freely from the chest to the waist. These kurtis should be avoided by people who are broad, short and heavy on their torso as it makes them look fat. This type of kurtis should be worn by people who are slim and tall. There are many styles and cuts available but the key to wearing a good kurti is one that fits you well and enhances your body.
