Over the past century Indians have been migrating and settling in many faraway countries. In spite of remaining away from the motherland people of Indian origin are very much in touch with the traditions and beliefs of their homeland. They choose to follow the religions of their forefathers and perform their marriages and other important events according to the rites and customs of their own communities. With more and more Indians settling in foreign countries there is a growing demand for Indian wedding jewelry for traditional wedding ceremonies when they are performed abroad.
