A thali is an Indian wedding chain. Originally, it was made from yellow thread and had a piece of turmeric tied at the bottom. Later, it became a gold chain pendant. It represents the god a certain Indian family worships and also displays the caste of the newlyweds. At one point during the wedding, the groom puts the thali around the bride’s neck to show to everyone that she’s taken. Three knots were tied on the thali to indicate the groom’s lifelong commitment to his wife. So romantic!
