Boor is the traditional material Rajputi chuda is turned from. It is cream-white and smooth, and carries the look of hathi dant — ivory — without ivory. It is skin-friendly and light, and it is what gives Rajputi chuda its distinct colour and finish.

Bur chuda and boor chuda are the same thing — the spelling changes, the ornament does not. It is the cream-white Rajputi bridal bangle set turned from boor, worn by Rajput and Marwari brides. You will also see it written bur chooda, and sold as Rajputi, Rajasthani, Rajwadi or Marwadi chuda.

No. Boor only carries the look of hathi dant. No ivory is used in a boor chuda. The finish is achieved in the material and in the hand-turning, not in the source.

Yes. Boor is skin-friendly and is worn against the wrist for days at a time through a wedding without irritation.

Both boor and seep carry a hathi dant, or ivory, look, and both are used in Rajputi chuda. Karni Creations makes its chuda in boor.

A full Rajputi boor chuda set weighs 250 to 300 grams. It is light enough to wear through the long days of a wedding.

A cut is the number of bangles on each hand. A 7 cut chuda carries seven bangles on each wrist, fourteen in all. A 9 cut carries nine on each, eighteen in all.

Fourteen. Seven bangles on each hand.

Eighteen. Nine bangles on each hand — four more than a 7 cut.

Four bangles. The 7 cut has seven on each hand, fourteen in all; the 9 cut has nine on each, eighteen. The nine cut sits fuller and carries higher up the forearm. The seven cut sits lighter. Neither is more correct — it is the bride’s choice.

There is no rule. Both are bridal sets. Choose the 9 cut if you want the arm full; choose the 7 cut if you want it quieter. The difference is four bangles and ₹500.

Dhalu — sometimes written dhal uthar — is the shape the bangles are turned to. In a dhalu chuda the bangles are graded from small to large across the set, each one changing in size and profile, so the chuda sits shaped to the arm rather than flat against it. It is what gives a Rajputi bridal set its form.

No. The 15 cut boor is plain — every bangle in it is the same size. Only the 7 cut and 9 cut are dhalu, graded from small to large across the set.

Thirty. Fifteen bangles on each hand — the most of any Rajputi chuda set.

No. The 15 cut boor is the everyday set — fifteen bangles on each hand, thirty in all, in plain boor with no dhalu work. It is worn through the year at festivals and family occasions. The bridal sets are the 7 cut and 9 cut dhalu.

Because it is plain. The 15 cut boor carries thirty bangles but has no dhalu work. The bridal cuts hold fewer — fourteen or eighteen — but each bangle is heavier, worked in dhalu, and finished by hand. The price follows the work, not the count.

Rajputi chuda is made of boor, is cream-white with a hathi dant finish, and is worn by Rajput and Marwari brides. Punjabi chura is red and white, made of plastic or lac, and is worn by Punjabi and Sikh brides. They are different objects from different traditions, and they are often searched for in the same words.

They overlap. Rajasthani chuda names the region. Rajputi names the community. Marwadi names the Marwar families who wear it. Rajwadi names the royal style. A Rajputi boor dhalu chuda is all of them at once.

Yes. Brides from every background wear Rajputi boor chuda. The Thikana Patra is written for families that hold a thikana; every other bride receives the Karni Creations Patra, written in her name.

The women of the family — mother, aunts, sisters. In a Rajput household, and in Hindu families across Rajasthan, the chuda ceremony is an occasion of its own. It is not the same as the Punjabi chura ceremony, where the bride’s maternal uncle puts on the chura.

Up to a year. There is no fixed number of days — how long the chuda is worn is decided by the bride and her family, and it varies from house to house.

All three. The word is written differently across Hindi, Rajasthani and Punjabi, and it is the same ornament. Chuda, chura, chooda and choda all name it.

A thikana was the estate of a Rajput Thakur under the princely states. Each thikana held villages, a seat, and its own line of descent. Sikar held four hundred and twenty-six villages. The jagirdari system was abolished in 1952, but the families and their names remain.

A scroll on handmade paper, bound with a gota patti ribbon, sent with every bridal chuda from Karni Creations. It carries the history of the estate the bride’s family comes from. It is verified against records and sent to the family for approval before it is written.

You receive the Karni Creations Patra instead — the story of the craft and the house your chuda was made in, written in your name. Every bride receives a story.

A 7 cut boor dhalu chuda costs ₹3,499 with a box and Thikana Patra. A 9 cut costs ₹3,999. The Complete sets, which add a juti and a potli, are ₹4,099 and ₹4,599. The plain 15 cut boor is ₹599.

Karni Creations makes boor chuda in Jaipur and sends it across India — order from this page, or message us on WhatsApp and we will show you the set on a video call before it ships. Delivery is up to 8 days within Rajasthan and up to 10 days elsewhere in India.

Boor chuda comes in 2.4, 2.6 and 2.8 — the inner diameter of the bangle in inches. Press your fingers together, measure around the widest part of your hand with a tape, and divide by 3.14 — that number is your diameter. If none of the three fit, we make it to your measurement.

Yes, made to order. Sizes like 2.2 or 2.10 are turned to your measurement. Send us the measurement on WhatsApp and we will make it. It adds [X] days.

No. The juti in the Complete set is chosen to sit with the chuda, not to copy it.

Yes. We send across India from Jaipur. Delivery takes up to 8 days within Rajasthan and up to 10 days elsewhere in India. Cash on delivery is arranged case by case — ask us on WhatsApp.

Yes. We show it on a video call — the cut, the finish, the weight in the hand — before it leaves Jaipur.

Cash on delivery is arranged case by case. Ask us on WhatsApp before you order.

No. We do not offer refunds, and we do not exchange for a change of mind. We do exchange a size that does not fit and a chuda that arrives broken, and both need an unboxing video.

We will exchange it. You will need an unboxing video — one unbroken take showing the sealed parcel opened and the chuda taken out.

We will exchange it. Send us the unboxing video on WhatsApp the day it arrives and we will send a replacement.

Boor is a delicate material. The video is how we tell a fault in the making or the transit from a fault in the handling. Record the parcel from the moment it reaches your hand, sealed, to the moment the chuda is out of the box.

Take it off at night, carefully, before you sleep, and keep it in its box when it is off. Avoid heavy work while wearing it. Boor is light, but it is not made to be knocked about — treated gently, a chuda keeps its finish through the year.
