short description
The Muthi Kharu comprises two metallic bangles, traditionally worn by the Deori tribeswomen of Assam. They represent cultural identity, marital status, feminine grace, and heritage and skill associated with the tribe.
Brass, silver, or any metal can be used to make the Muthi Kharu, characterized by simple yet elegant designs and fine work distinct in style that is ever attractive for casual wear or daily wear. Traditionally these bangles are worn in pairs, while a number of pairs stack on both arms. Thus, wearing these bangles ensures prosperity, protection, and the continuity of tradition among the Deori.
Jewelry is an inseparable part of all social and religious practices among tribes, and the Deori tribe follows suit. These bangles mark the different centers in a woman's life, from birth to adulthood, through marriage, during weddings, festivals, or auspicious ceremonies. Some people also claim the metallic properties of the Muthi Kharu ensure good luck and ward off negative energies.
In today's world, though Muthi Kharu is still very important culturally for Deori women, efforts are being made by local artisans and tribal organizations to promote traditional Deori jewelry in order to nourish the fight for the survival of this heritage craft for generations to come.
