Spotted: Unique 'Kalira' details we love

While the twitter sphere gets divided amongst the "Pray for  Salman" and the "He deserves it"  variety, we were busy browsing through our gallery when we came across some unique details we absolutely love.  One of these details - are the kaleeras that North Indian brides wear . While legend has it that these signify good luck charms , the more fun ritual is that the girl on whose head the kalira falls (when the bride shakes them over her head) gets married next Traditional Lotan Kalire
