Parandis: From Tradition to Trend with Kalakari

In a world where fashion is constantly evolving, some accessories never lose their charm. One such timeless treasure is the Parandi – a braid adornment that has traveled from the cultural roots of Punjab to modern-day fashion ramps. At Kalakari by Rhuju, we celebrate this heritage by giving parandis a contemporary revival.

The Cultural Legacy of Parandis

Parandis have been worn by Indian women for centuries, especially in Punjab and Northern India. These handcrafted extensions not only beautified braids but also symbolized festivity, love, and prosperity. Brides traditionally wore parandis in bold colors and intricate designs as a sign of good fortune.

Today, parandis are making a comeback – not just as ethnic wear but as a fashion-forward statement piece for women who love to blend tradition with modern style.

Kalakari’s Handcrafted Parandis

At Kalakari, we believe accessories are more than just add-ons – they are stories you can wear. Each parandi in our collection is:

✨ Handmade by artisans with intricate details like pearls, shells, tassels, and embroidery.
✨ Lightweight and versatile, making them perfect for all-day wear.
✨ Designed to suit both traditional occasions and everyday fashion experiments.

From mirror work parandis for weddings to boho-inspired designs for casual looks, Kalakari offers a parandi for every mood and moment.
