Odissi Dance Jewellery | Long Mango Haram

A: While the Long Mango Haram is traditionally associated with Odissi dance, its design can complement Bharatanatyam costumes as well. However, consider the overall aesthetic and adherence to Bharatanatyam jewelry traditions for an Arangetram. It is essential to ensure the Haram does not hinder Aramandi or other intricate footwork.

A: The Long Mango Haram typically ranges from 28 to 32 inches. Its length is crucial in balancing the Odissi costume. It should fall gracefully without hindering torso movements or interfering with the 'tribhangi' pose. We can adjust the length slightly to suit the dancer's height and preference; please specify your desired length during purchase.

A: Our Long Mango Harams are crafted using a blend of high-quality imitation gold plating, embedded with carefully selected stones and beads, to mimic the look of traditional gold jewelry. To maintain its luster, gently wipe the Haram with a soft, dry cloth after each performance to remove perspiration and oils. Store it in a dry, cool place, preferably in a separate jewelry box, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid contact with perfumes and harsh chemicals.

A: Yes, we offer customization options for the Long Mango Haram. While maintaining the integrity of the traditional design, we can explore modifications to the mango motifs, stone colors, or the addition of small, subtle deity pendants that align with Odissi dance iconography. Please contact us to discuss your specific requirements and explore design possibilities.
