| Indian
traditional ornament is simply decorative and devoid of inherent meaning or symbolic
value. The ability to create and use symbols in Indian jewellery occurs among
the rural people of Indian society, who constitute about 70% of its total population.
Indian ornaments have been established as symbols of ethnic unity, and identity
and that is why in India, from generation to generation, all women within a rural
community aspire to own the same traditional objects. |
