Being traditional is not rule centric. It’s root centric.
Aviral Marwal
INDIA, well nothing much to say about it, cause there is no book in the world that wholly defines this country and Indian-tradition. It’s home to one of the oldest cultures and traditions to amaze you and to define your soul. The soul of this country resides in its people and their traditions. But here the story gets fade when we get to know that we are losing our own traditions ‘intentionally’. So here we bring some facts and science behind popular Indian traditions which you’re ignoring. Because we need you to know our roots.
India is known for its diversity. It is the home to a vast number of cultures and traditions. The secular nature of Indian soil has allowed various religious beliefs to flourish freely over the years. For every few hundred kilometers that you travel on Indian soil, you will encounter a whole new culture.
There are some facts about our traditions which we used to do but may not aware about it.
APPLYING TILAK ON FOREHEAD:-
Not only Hindu but a non-Hindu also apply tilak in his life. Tilak is applied to the center of our eyebrows, it is a spot that is considered to be a nerve point in the human body since ancient time. It prevents the loss of energy and the red kumkum helps to retain energy and control our concentration.
Wearing MANGALSUTRA by Indian Women:-
Mangalsutra is defined in a Sanskrit term ‘MANGAL’ means prosperous, blessed, etc. and ‘SUTRA’ means a thread. mangalsutra is made of 108 (an auspicious number) fine cotton threads twisted together and dyed yellow in saffron or turmeric and gold which stung in the center.
SIGNIFICANCE: Mangala is also the name of the planet Mars, whose color is red, same as the auspicious garment color worn by Hindu brides. Because of this association, it’s common to use coral gem (manga) that is sacred to Mars. Mangalsutra chain is made of black glass beads. It is said to repel the evil eye.
Joining both palms together:
It is the method to greet someone in our culture but now handshakes have taken over this. Joining both hands together ensure touching the tips of fingers together which are linked to pressure points in the eyes, ears, and mind. Pressing them together is said to activate these and helps us to remember that person for a long time, and it also helps us to prevent chronic disease by not shaking their hands.
WOMEN TOE RINGS:
These rings wear on the second toe, particularly nerve connects the uterus and passes to heart, so a toe ring strengthens the uterus, keeping it healthy by regulating blood flow to it. Women’s menstrual cycle is also said to be regularized.
Kadha and bangles
We often wear kadha and bangles like in men, may the astrologer suggest or in the female, the married women used to wear for the betterment of her husband or it can also be the identity of married women ..there are a lot of benefits of wearing bangles and kadha.
Normally the wrist portion is in constant activation of any human. Also, the pulse beat in this portion is mostly checked for all sorts of ailments. The Bangles used by women are normally in the wrist part of one’s hand and its constant friction increases the blood circulation level.
Furthermore, the electricity passing out through outer skin is again reverted to one’s own body because of the ring-shaped bangles, which has no ends to pass the energy outside but to send it back to the body. Also, there are supposed to be some pressure points in the wrist area which helps in maintaining hormonal balance. This is the main reason why even many men wore some bangle like accessories e.g. kadha .
NOSE RINGS:-
Getting nose pierced is one of the important customs in India. Nowadays its become a trend, apart from knowing its benefits.
Nose piercing on the left nostril helps in reducing pain during the periods in women. It is also said that the left nostril is associated with the reproductive organs of the female which eases childbirth and also minimizes the pain at the time of the baby’s delivery.
Although from religious perceptive:- at the time of wedding girls pierced their nose to honor goddess parvati.
EAR PIERCING:
Same as nose piercing the ear-piercing also has several health benefits for men and women both.
Piercing the ears will help to circulate the blood in a proper way. Proper blood transmission to the brain will help to increase the memory power
The middle of the ear is helpful in immunization and also it is beneficial in both the men and women by solving the problem of the irregularity of menstruation, it is also beneficial in men for generating sperms.
These all are the scientific reasons or the science behind popular Indian traditions that we all follow from ages but don’t know their true value. It’s a gold treasure that we have and should be proud of.
But One questions is still remained unanswered.
Are we really forgetting our tradition & Culture?
I hope that more people will come to realize the value of our traditional ways and culture because this is something we should take pride in and we should protect it from getting lost and forgotten.

Great post. Indeed, it’s true that we are the kites and our traditions and culture is the string that holds onto it; however high we fly, if we cut the thread, we’ll fall down… We need to connect to our culture and adapt the good in it.

I feel that every age old tradition has a scientific explanation behind it, the ancestors didn’t know the laws of relativity, but they were well aware of the powerful mysteries of nature, and we all know science is all about nature and its phenomena. I feel the orthodox views which were based on superstitions and lead to social evils, should be discarded, but the ones, which actually are beneficial in life, which have meaningful roots seated in our culture, should be adapted by us. Great Post indeed! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

So, if bangle wearing has the same benefits for men and women, why is it that some might classify a non-bangle wearing woman as ‘against Indian traditions’ while it is Ok for a man to not wear one?
May 26, 2020 at 4:56 am
Actually, Indian tradition is more complex than any other part of the world. Everyone holds their own opinion. Even I also believe that there is nothing wrong if woman doesn’t wear bangles. It’s upto you, if you know your roots or science behind it, only than you realise that how beneficial our tradition is.

You’re seeing this a lot, but I too thank you for this interesting information. So many traditions & beliefs of other lands are precious in their own rites. I hope there are youths in every country to carry on the torch, so to speak, of their ancestors’ knowledge & the reasons things are as they are and why traditions have been practiced. Aside from my thinking the sari, the many dresses, henna (also seen elsewhere), & the jewelry very beautiful, I sensed, rather, I knew there are ancient reasons, but had not as of yet researched the reasons. May the beauty of India live on in the good people there.
August 7, 2023 at 6:46 pm
Thank you for expressing your appreciation for the diverse traditions and beliefs of other lands. It’s heartening to see the recognition of the value in preserving ancestral knowledge and cultural practices. We hope the youth in every country continue to carry on the torch of their ancestors’ wisdom, ensuring the rich heritage thrives and flourishes for generations to come. May the beauty and goodness of India endure through its people.
