Medhe or Mede, popularly called Sir Patti is a band that stretches across the length of your head. Made with pearls, diamonds, polki, precious stones, gold, and silver, the Sir Patti adorns the head.
The Chaand Sooraj also stretches across the head with a large sun in the middle and two crescent moons on either side. Also prevalent in South-Indian jewellerythe Chand Sooraj represents the duality in a woman’s nature.
The sun stands for her strength while the moon embodies her grace. A contemporary version of the Chand Sooraj was recently worn by Masaba Gupta on her wedding day.
