Baby Shower Bangles: A Cultural Story

Baby shower bangles, traditionally known as Valaikaapu, are an important part of South Indian pregnancy rituals. This ceremony is usually held during the 7th or 9th month to bless the mother and unborn child. The sound of the bangles is believed to create positive vibrations that soothe the baby and bring emotional comfort to the mother.

History and Meaning

• The practice dates back centuries and is deeply rooted in Tamil culture.
• Glass, silver, and gold bangles are used to represent protection, purity, and prosperity.
• Colors hold meaning: green for fertility, red for strength, yellow for health.
• Women of the family decorate the mother-to-be with layers of bangles as a symbol of love, blessings, and support.
• These bangles are often kept as memories and sometimes passed down as heirlooms.
