Kalakari Parandi – Tradition Reimagined

Kalakari Parandi: Handmade Braid Accessories for Every Occasion

Braids have always been a symbol of grace and tradition in Indian culture. And nothing enhances a braid better than a Parandi. Once a classic accessory in Punjab, parandis are now making a strong comeback in modern fashion. At Kalakari by Rhuju, we’ve reimagined this timeless braid adornment into a handmade statement piece for today’s woman.

The Legacy of Parandis

Parandis were traditionally worn by women in Punjab and Northern India, often symbolizing joy, prosperity, and celebration. Brides braided them into their hair on wedding days, while women styled them during festivals and gatherings. These accessories weren’t just decorative – they carried stories of culture, tradition, and beauty.

Today, the parandi has evolved into a versatile hair accessory, loved by brides, dancers, and fashion enthusiasts who want to blend heritage with modern style.
