A haathphool is hand jewellery: a ring joined by chains of flowers, beads or pearls to a bracelet, worn across the back of the hand. For the haldi, brides choose a light floral haathphool in resin, shell, pearl or artificial flowers, made to match the rest of the set.

How to Wear a Haathphool at the Haldi and Mehndi
The haathphool sits where most of the ritual happens, on the hands. Plan when it goes on, and how many you wear.
AT THE HALDI
The paste goes on the hands and arms, so wear the haathphool for the photographs before or after, not while the paste is applied.
Before the pasteAfter the paste
AT THE MEHNDI
Put it on only after the henna has dried. A haathphool over wet henna smudges the design.

ONE HAND OR TWO

01What is a haathphool in English?
A haathphool, also written hathphool or haath phool, is hand jewellery: a ring joined by chains to a bracelet, worn across the back of the hand. The name means hand flower. It is also called a haath panja.
02What are the parts of a haathphool?
Four parts. The ring sits on the middle finger and holds the piece in place. The chain is a strand of beads, pearls or flowers across the back of the hand. The centre is a flower or shell cluster, where the eye goes in photographs. The bracelet closes round the wrist and carries the chain from the other side.
03Does the bride wear a haathphool on both hands?
Either works. Many sets include two, one for each hand, while others include one. The product page says how many come with the set and the photos show how they are worn.
04When should the bride wear a haathphool at the mehndi?
Put it on only after the henna has dried, or keep it for the haldi and sangeet. A haathphool worn over wet henna smudges the design.
05Can I buy a haathphool on its own?
Our haathphool come as part of a set with the maang tikka, earrings and necklace. To ask whether one can be made on its own, use the Customise your order button on the product page.
06How do I make sure the ring fits?
