The English word ‘bangle’ originates from the Hindi word ‘bangli’ or ‘bangdi’, meaning a glass bracelet worn on the arm or wrist. Bangles have different terms in different languages, like ‘bala’ (Kannada), ‘choora’ (Punjabi), ‘churi’ (Bengali), ‘kharu’ (Assamese) and ‘bangadi’ (Marathi).

Interior of a bangle shop in Laad Bazaar. Some of the bangle showrooms are very brightly lit like jewellery shops, and the bangles are displayed neatly arranged in glass showcases. Though this is a wholesale market, most shopkeepers also sell loose bangles. Customers are free to mix and match the bangles as per their preferences.
