Re: what does the word “PARANDA” mean?
in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, women wear a lot of gajraa [floral hair accessory and braclets] … it’s in their culture. husbands usually bring gajraa when they come home from work.
in our area [UP, India], people grow Bela [Jasmine] plants at home and they harvest fresh flowers in the morning and make gajras and sometimes put in a bowl in the living room for fragrance.
i think women use gajra for fragrance as well as decorative purposes. i like it!
