The bangle is an inseparable ornament of Indian culture. It plays a considerably significant role during marriages as the identity of the Indian bride. Different communities in different parts of the country have their own interpretation of the meaning behind the colours and symbolism of bangles.
Channapatna is a town located 60 km south-west of Bangalore, that is well known for its wood turning technique to create lacquered toys and other objects. I visited the town, interacted with the artisans, and with their expertise and skill, I designed and developed a portable, detachable bangle stand using the wood turning technique.

The bangle stand set comes in 14 detachable pieces:
1 long hollow cylinder
4 identical rods
8 identical stoppers
