Andra style Mangala Sutram or Tali bottu

Normally married women wear Mangala sutram. Men tie this to women at the time of marriage.
These things should be there in Mangala sutram.

1. Sutram one should be given by Husband's mother. (count 1)
2. Sutram two should be given by Bride's mother. (count 2)
    Both will be in different formats. some people take similar ones. but one given by husband will be flat and brides one should be puffy.
3. We should put one gold rod between two sutras. so that they won't touch each other and make noise while walking and all.(count 3)
4. Two black beads on both sides. (count 5)
5. Two Motis (Muthyalu) on both sides of the string. (count 7)
6. Two Pagadalu (Red beads kind) on both sides of the string. (count 9)
7. One Lakshmi Kasu.(count 10)
8. One small Lotus flower bead. We will get them in small gold shops. (count 11)
    If you don't find this, you can add one more Lakshmi kasu. So that count will be 11.
9. You can tie all these things using gold/raagi string or thick yellow thread.

All together count should come to 11 items. Even 9 items is fine. This is how we follow while making Mangala sutram. Happy Married Life . :)
