Why a Paranda is So Much More Than Just a Hair Accessory
For many of us, a Paranda brings back memories. Maybe you remember your mum or dadi braiding your hair and tying it on for a special occasion. Maybe you wore it for your first Teeyan dance or a school dance competition or as a bride walking into a room full of smiles. That’s because Parandas aren’t just hair accessories — they’re full of emotion, and tradition.
- Woven with Culture Parandas have been part of Punjabi culture for generations. They were never just about looks — they’ve always been about celebration. Whether it’s a wedding, Lohri, or a village fair (Mella), seeing women with beautifully braided hair tied with Parandas is a sign of joy, festivity, and cultural pride.
- A Symbol of Strength and Style While they look delicate, Parandas have always symbolised feminine strength. In a world that’s moving fast and often forgetting the beauty of tradition, wearing a Paranda feels like holding on to your roots — with style. It’s amazing how something so simple can change your whole look. A Paranda doesn’t just finish your hairstyle; it adds a story to it.
- Tradition, with a Modern Twist These days, women are styling Parandas not just with Punjabi suits but with lehengas, Indo-Western outfits, and even jeans. It’s not about sticking to old ways — it’s about bringing tradition forward, your way. At The Punjabi Kudi, we’re all about that. Every Paranda we sell is handcrafted with care, love, and a deep respect for the culture we come from.

Why does it hold cultural importance?
For Punjabis, a Paranda isn’t just about looking pretty—it’s tied to celebrations, weddings, and festive gatherings. Wearing one is like carrying a little piece of heritage in your hair.

How do you wear it?
You simply attach it at the end of your braid or weave it in as you’re braiding. The tassels then hang down, adding length and volume to your hair.
