The Mangalsutra is more than just a symbol of marriage, it is believed to be a sacred thread that weaves together the destinies of two souls in the realm of Indian matrimony. Let us learn the significance of the black beads and the gold used in a Mangalsutra from our expert, Jyotishacharya Radhakant Vats, in this article.
Significance Of Gold In Mangalsutra
Astrologer Vats said that gold is believed to be a symbol of Jupiter, as per astrology. Additionally, it is one of the holy metals, as per the Hindu scriptures. It is said that the gold in your Mangalsutra brings you the auspicious effects of Jupiter and strengthening Jupiter’s position in your horoscope.
The gold present in your horoscope is also believed to imply that your married life will always be filled with happiness and prosperity. “It is also said to bring you some health benefits. In Ayurved, it is said that the gold content in the Mangalsutra keeps women away from stress. Apart from this, it is believed that gold has a lot of healing properties which help women to cure many diseases mentally and physically,” added the astrologer.
Significance Of Black Beads In Mangalsutra
In astrology, it is said that if you wear gold alone, it can lead to adverse effects of the planets which is why it should always be paired with some other metal. “Therefore, Mangalsutra does not only contain gold but also has black beads. Although black-coloured things are prohibited for married women to wear, it works in Mangalsutra as an auspicious thing. Actually, according to astrological logic, black pearls help in reducing the ill effects of Rahu planet. Apart from this, they do not let the evil eye of Saturn fall on married life,” shared Jyotishacharya Radhakant.
He continued, “Apart from this, it is also believed that black pearls symbolise Lord Shiva. When a married woman wears a Mangalsutra with black pearls, she and her husband receive the blessings of Lord Shiva.”
