The term Mangalsutra is the union of two Sanskrit words Mangala (meaning holy) and Sutra (meaning thread). Due to its strong significance in the Hindu culture, the Mangalsutra is not considered as an ornate piece of jewellery but in fact a sacred thread of love and goodwill worn by the married Indian woman.
