About Me: With Hindu deities, gods and goddesses inscribed on it, Indian temple jewellery came into evolution in the 9th century during the Chola dynasty. The earliest representation of temple jewellery was seen in mural paintings of Thiruvambadi shrine in the Sree Padmanabhasvamy temple, Thiruvananthapuram in South India. Historical records reveal that Indian temple jewellery was made using large quantities of gold that came as donations by the devotees. This helped in investing the wealth of gold into usable items. In a way, it also provided security to the temple and promoted temple art in the communities.

The Story: Classical and traditional in its appearance, temple jewelry is commonly associated with dancers practicing the dance form of Bharatanatyam or Kuchipudi. Temple jewelry is characterised by some of the finest handwork, painfully crafted by skilled craftsmen and artisans. Even today, the original temple jewelry is made only by certain craftsmen, who have to follow stringent requirements during the course of making it, like maintaining a cool temperature (as heat could damage the delicate metal or gold plating threading), total concentration on each set due to the intricacy involved (which means creating only one piece at a time), and so on.
