For the uninitiated, kaleeras were first worn in the 20th century in Punjab, India. The Punjabi brides used to don it on their wedding day.


Traditionally, kaleeras are tied on the wrist of the bride on the day of the wedding by her sisters and friends.


After the ceremony, the bride tries to drop it on the head of her bridesmaids. It is believed, whoever gets it, is the next in line to tie the knot.
