The key ritual is the Thaali, which consists of the groom tying three knots of a special necklace given by the groom's family to the bride, usually in place of a wedding ring. Some thaalis have a unique design engraved on the center amulet, but sometimes the groom's family will request the jeweler to engrave a family design: one that has been created by an ancestor and has been used by each subsequent generation. The Thaali necklace is worn by the bride more frequently by Southern Indian women than women of Northern Indian .
