Varamala

A varamala (Sanskrit: वरमाला, romanized: Varamālā, lit. 'boon garland') or a jayamala (Sanskrit: जयमाला, romanized: Jayamālā, lit. 'victory garland') is an Ancient Indian garland that is most commonly associated with its eponymous ritual during a Hindu wedding ceremony. Traditionally, a varamala is made of roses and other flowers, though modern variations exist, such as garlands made from rupee notes, and other regional traditions. The jayamala ceremony is a well-known ritual during a Hindu wedding, where a bride and a groom exchange garlands, as an indication of acceptance of each other as their spouse, and a pledge to respect them throughout the rest of their lives.
