Microplated Vel Myil Kappu- JCBT102

This heavy, open-ended bracelet (Kappu or Kada) features a design centered around Lord Murugan (Karthikeya), incorporating two of his primary symbols: the Vel (spear) and the Mayil (peacock).

Design: The bracelet is a thick, adjustable cuff that terminates in two distinct motifs:

One end features a meticulously sculpted, three-dimensional Peacock (Mayil).

The opposite end features a detailed representation of the Vel (spear), which is the divine weapon of Lord Murugan. The Vel often has colored stone or enamel work (appears to be red/maroon) to highlight the sacred markings or the Vibhuti (sacred ash) lines on the forehead of the deity it represents.

Finish: The term “Microplated” indicates it has a high-quality, very fine layer of gold plating, giving it the appearance and luster of solid gold.

Cultural Significance: This type of traditional jewelry is often worn as a devotional item, symbolizing protection and the blessings of Lord Murugan, and is particularly popular in South India.
