Short nallapoosalu

Nalla Poosalu (literally translates to "black beads" in Telugu) is a traditional sacred gold necklace studded with black glass or stone beads, worn by married Hindu women in Telugu-speaking regions (Telangana and Andhra Pradesh). It serves as the regional equivalent of the Mangalsutra, signifying marital status, longevity of the spouse, and protection against negative energy.

In Telugu culture, the Nalla Poosalu is tied by the groom around the bride’s neck during the wedding ceremony as a symbol of love, commitment, and spiritual union. The black beads are traditionally believed to absorb negative vibrations and ward off the "evil eye" (drishti), shielding the marriage and the couple’s health.
