*😳WHY❓❓❓*
==========================
*Why Do Indian Women Wear Bangles*
The word bangle has been derived from the HINDI word Bangri or Bangali, Which in sanskrit gives the meaning “The ornament which adorns the arm”.
Being made from various materials including glass, conch, different metals, gold and ivory.
sound of the glass bangles protect the motor organs of the ladies.
Scientific Reason For Wearing Bangles:
In Ancient days men used to go and work in farms and forests which involves lot of muscle work , while women used to do all the household work. Though house hold involves lot of work but when compared to men’s work it’s kind of small. By sitting at home and not doing much physcial work, there is a chance of blood pressure getting increased, which results in developing impatience.
Normally the wrist portion is in constant activation on any human. Also the pulse beat in this portion is mostly checked for all sorts of ailments. The Bangles used by women are normally in the wrist part of ones hand and its constant friction increases the blood circulation level.

🛕 *VEDIK GYAN*
(kindly inform, if given info is vary from actual facts🙏🏻) ==========================
Shukracharya is believed to be one of the greatest sages of all times. He was a highly learned man, and yet, he did not find a suitable position in the Devaloka. Therefore, he became the Guru or Acharya of the natives of the nether world, i.e. the Danavs, Daityas and Asuras. He made them his disciples and helped them wage war against the Devas and by doing so, avenging them for alienating him.
He had all the qualities of spearheading the Devas, but he let his emotions take control over his senses. Thus, he chose to head the demons, whose only motive was the create havoc and cause destruction.
