HALWYACHE DAGINE / SUGARY JEWELLERY
BY SHWETA GALINDE
Celebrate the festival of harvest with tilgul and halwyache dagine. Its traditional to make them during Sankranti festival. The customary sugar jewellery, halwyache dagine, is sugar candies made out of roasted sesame seeds combined with sabudana and sugar powder.
Halwa or sugar beeds are used in making these jewellery – called as Halwyache dagine or jewellery made of halwa.
The jewellery is made from the sugar beads. Its threaded together or glued on a flexible cardboard base. There is no ‘hole’ to thread the beads, so essentially you have to make the beads have enough ‘spikes’ so that when they are threaded between 4-5 strands of thread, they are held in place and don’t fall out.
And making the sugar beads is not easy. It has to be made by constantly stirring sugar syrup on a low heat around a central seed ( sesame seed, poppy seeds, sago, lentils or pumpkin seeds). The seed of choice is based on how small or large you want the sugar bead for the jewellery. Smaller ones are used for necklace strings and bangles while large ones are used in pendants, mang tikka etc.
As per Maharashtrian custom, every newly wed couple is adorned in black clothes and halwa jewellery on the first Sankranti post marriage.
As families gear up to celebrate the festival of harvest with fervour. Most excited among them are this year’s newlyweds and new parents who will be celebrating their very first Makar Sankranti adorned in fineries and the conventional ‘Halwyache Dagine’ or sugar jewellery, amid hollers of ‘tilgul ghya, goad goad bola’.
The customary sugar jewellery, halwyache dagine, is sugar candies made out of roasted sesame seeds combined with sabudana and sugar powder.
Kamarbandhs, mukuts, bangles, necklaces and mathapatti for new brides and small ornaments like anklets, for new-born babies
The new bride wears these jewellery with a black sari which holds a special significance – There is no religious significance of the black sari, but as the festival falls in the peak of winter, black is the preferred colour as it absorbs heat and keeps the wearer warm.
