Why do we wear the bracelet

(Kankana Dhaarana) ?

The bracelet is not an ordinary bangle which

 the people wear for the sake of  fascination and show.

It is  an ornament  for the wrist to undertake

a work with determination vow to do something.

Also it is a sacred thread tied round the wrist at

the commencement of an auspicious functions.

The customs are related with the Vratam

( religious vow), Nomu (perform worship of a deity ) ,

Marriage ceremonies, and Yagna and

other auspicious occasions.

At the time of Sree Gauri Pooja,

Sree Satyanarayana Vratam, marriage ceremonies , 

observing the performance of Yagna 

 and other religious functions, normally the

bracelet or the turmeri and kumkum coated

 sacred threads tied round the wrist.

This is  a  symbolic for that they are 

 undertaking a sacred work with determination vow to do.

It is the concept  that there should not be any

disturbance to the  result of worship and

the feeling and till that the sacred thread is worn ,

and  the same determination is continued with

  peace to fulfil the task which is undertaken.

 For that  the cotton thread is tied round

the wrist   by appling the turmeric as a sacred.

With this,  among  the  pulses  in the body,

the main pulse ( pulse which throbs with) is

 extended upto the wrists of the hands.

 So, if that sacred thread is tied round

 the  wrist, with that friction,  the blood

circulation  and the heart vibrations

 can be done uniformly and orderly.

That pulse is spread to the womb.

So, the doctors can diagnose that the

lady is pregnant by simply touching their hand pulse.

Because of that prominene takes  place,

and also  it will be atleast an excercise

 to some extent , on the auspicious occasions,

 it is said to tie the sacred thread round the wrist.
