It is said that an Indian woman’s traditional look isn’t complete until she adds a prized piece of temple jewellery to her outfit. The timeless charm of temple jewellery has, over time, become a part of a woman’s jewellery collection, especially in the Southern part of India. Indian temple jewellery is traditionally made of gold and embedded with precious gems and stones. Usually showcased against the backdrop of stunning Kanjeevaram sarees, the classic allure of temple jewellery has stood the test of time.

Origins of Temple Jewellery

Tracing back to its origins, the 9th century AD, marked the emergence of Temple Jewellery, an art form inspired by the generous donations of precious metals to South Indian temples during the Chola and Pandya dynasties. What initially graced deities and nobility gradually found its way to temple dancers and devoted individuals, becoming a hallmark of weddings and religious ceremonies.

Common Motifs in Temple Jewellery

Intricate motifs drawn from divine figurines, temple tops, and spiritual symbols define temple jewellery's essence. Goddess Lakshmi stands as a recurring muse, while representations of Lord Ganesha, Lord Krishna, and Lord Shiva also find prominence. Elements like flowers, leaves, coins, and architectural marvels further enrich the diversity of these exquisite pieces.
