Religious Facts - Hinduism - Nose Piercing - what is the importance in it?

I want to give an entirely different and interesting reply as read in the following web site ::-- """Traditionally toe rings, called bichiyas are put on a Karimpur woman during the wedding ceremony to symbolize her dual status as sister and wife. She wears two sets of toe rings on each foot one for her brother and one for her husband. When either the husband or brother dies, one set is removed.

The symbolism is that if her husband were to die then her brother would offer her protection. The North Indian woman wears toe rings as a symbol of her married status along with glass bangles. She is given the toe rings at the marriage ceremony, where her husband places them on her.

If she is widowed then she must wear white, smash her glass bangles and remove her toe rings. However, if she is a poor woman she does not need to do any of these things and will continue to wear her toe rings. Hindu women wear the toe rings in pairs on the second toe of both feet as a symbol of their married state.

The toe rings are usually quite ornate in design and are always silver unless the woman is a member of the royal Indian families. Gold is considered a "pure" metal and should not be worn below the waist. There is also a belief that the wearing of toe rings press on certain nerves that pertain to the reproductive system, keeping it in balance and healthy.

Ancient Ayuvedic medicine has long been used along side acupressure. The Indians believe that your "prana" or life force must be in balance in order for you to stay healthy. All of the paths of your "prana" run down to your toes, so the idea that a marital symbol could double up as a reproductive enhancer is not a big stretch""".

Metti was originally an ornament worn by married men only. It was to reveal their marital status. Gradually men due to their degraded conduct discontinued that practice.

Women due to their craze for jewellery readily took upon themselves. There is evidence to what I am saying. Thirumangai azhwar was looting the newly wedded couples in the night in the Thirunagari area.

So Vyalali Manavalan (Perumal) hatched a plan. He came there with Sridevi thayar as newly wedded couple with dazzling ornaments. Our Mangai mannan got the news thru his sisyas and was waiting for the big catch.

Bhagawan Vishnu arrived with Thayar and Azhwar waylaid Him and removed all the jewels. Finally he was trying to remove the metti but was futile in his attempt. He then tried biting with his powerful teeth.

He got it. He got it all packed but was not able to lift the loot. Azhwar got the Thriumantra showing the sword!

In Appakudathan I have seen Appala Rangar wearing metti in the archa thirumeni. So only Perumal is the proof. You can check my authenticity by visiting these two divyadesams and enquiring the battars.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
