| Jadavi Lacha Set |
Hyderabad is one of India’s many cities
that are rich in the history of politics, architecture, art, music, literature,
cuisine, fashion, and jewellery. Due to influences of many cultures, empires,
and kings this city offers you a taste of all its history. But mostly the city
gives you the flavour of Mughal era, which highly influenced the city.
Hyderabad’s Khada Dupatta is one of the
most popular outfits in South Asia. The Mughal Queen, Noor Jahan – wife of King
Shah Jahan, originally designed the outfit. Brides of Hyderabad mostly wear
Khada Dupatta to their weddings. It’s a six-yard long veil that is worn over a
chori daar and a kameez.

Along with the dupatta the bride or anyone
else wearing the outfit, they wear a Jadavi Lacha. It is a piece of jewellery,
also designed by Noor Jahan to wear with Khada Dupatta. The neckpiece is called
Jadavi Lacha and is paired with gorgeous earrings, tikka, and a jhoomar. At the
time of Mughal rule, the piece was made of pure gold with real stones inserted.
The name of the jewellery comes from the stones being embedded in the gold. The
word Jaravi come from “Jaraw” meaning stones embedded into something, and Lacha
just means choker.
In today’s world this Mughal jewellery can
be found and made in many place in South Asia; however, if you’re looking for
