Parandi

Parandi

A Parandi is an hair fashion accessory typically associated with the Sikh community.

Parandis can be of different types and colors with fancier ones have artistic work or beads on them.

A parandi is attached to the hair while braiding. The hair is combed to remove any knots. The hair is then braided until the desired position for the parandi is reached. The parandi is held in the center and the three sections of the parandi are merged with those of the natural hair. Braiding is then continued as before until the end of the hair. A rubber band is tied at the end of the hair to prevent the braid from opening.

Parandis are generally won at all traditional North Indian Festivals like the Baisakhi, and Lohri and while dancing the folk dances of Bhangra, and Gidda. They are also worn at Sikh weddings.
