The Chooda is one of the first among the 16 Shringars of the bride. Usually, chooda is a combination of red and white colours and they come in a set of 21 bangles. The number 21 is considered to be an auspicious number. The chuda is worn on the day of the wedding and it can’t be removed without a ceremony which is done by the bride's mother-in-law.
