Toe rings (Bichhiya) worn as matching pairs on the second toes are
traditional symbols of being married for Indian women in some
communities. In India, toe rings are worn for several reasons:
decorative (jewelry), protective (mirrored to reflect the evil eye), or
curative (gemstones with healing powers), or to denote marital status.
Even in Indian history the epic 'Ramayana' there were some topics
related to toe ring. i.e. When Sita was kidnapped by Ravana, on the way,
she throw her toe ring as the identification for lord Rama which shows
that toe ring is used from ancient time.
