The hook typically attaches to the back of your earring post, while the thread can be carefully braided into your hair or secured with hairpins along the side of your head. For Arangetram costumes, we recommend ensuring the thread is tightly integrated into a neat braid or bun for maximum security and a polished look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\" style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003e\n      \u003ch4 itemprop=\"name\" style=\"margin:0 0 5px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Are the stones in this temple jewellery authentic?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n      \u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n        \u003cp itemprop=\"text\" style=\"margin:0; color:#555;\"\u003eA: Yes, these Lotus Mattals feature premium Kemp (Spinels) stones in traditional ruby, emerald, and white hues, along with real freshwater pearls.

Avoid contact with perfumes, hairsprays, and lotions. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Never use abrasive cleaners or immerse in water, as this can damage the gold leafing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\" style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003e\n      \u003ch4 itemprop=\"name\" style=\"margin:0 0 5px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this Mattal suitable for an Arangetram?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n      \u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n        \u003cp itemprop=\"text\" style=\"margin:0; color:#555;\"\u003eA: Absolutely.
