A mangala sutra (from Sanskrit mangala, meaning ‘holy, auspicious’, and sutra, meaning ‘thread’) is a necklace that the groom ties around the bride’s neck in the Indian subcontinent, in a ceremony called Mangalya Dharanam (Sanskrit for ‘”wearing the auspicious”‘), which identifies her as a married woman.
This is a social practice widespread in India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. This practice is also an integral part of a marriage ceremony as prescribed by Manusmriti
