All marriages involve some form of ornament that symbolizes marriage. This ornament can be a wedding ring, chain, nose piece, bangles, or even a toe ring. Mangalsutra is an ornament that symbolizes marriage and is an Indian wedding chain.
  
During the wedding ceremony, the priest recites mantras (chants) when the groom ties the Mangalsutra around the bride’s neck, securing it with three knots.  This act of tying a Mangalsutra signifies the groom and the bride are united and have the responsibility of taking care of each other.

The Mangalsutra is regarded as an auspicious amulet and the bride herself is said to be auspicious (Sumangala). By wearing the Mangalsutra, the bride is said to become immune to the evil eye. By extension, anyone who sees her is automatically granted good luck.
