What does bandhai setting mean in these temple pieces?

Bandhai is a traditional method of fixing stones closely into the design to form continuous colour lines, which adds security to the potta rows and a neat, uniform look around the neckline.

Do these long haars use a thread tie or a metal clasp?

They come with an adjustable thread tie-back, not a metal chain, so you can set the drop precisely and distribute the weight comfortably for long wear.

How do I layer without covering the Lakshmi motif?

Place a shorter choker or collar-length piece above the motif and set the long haar slightly lower using the thread; this keeps the deity center visible while filling the collarbone area.

Lakshmi Potta Long Haar Sets

These long haram designs bring Lakshmi motifs and ruby–green potta stones together in 8 designs, from ₹5,900. Crafted on 100% brass with a gold polish, each long haar follows a South-traditional silhouette with bandhai-set stones and gentle drop accents. An adjustable thread lets you set the fall neatly to your blouse line, which makes these pieces comfortable for bridal hours and temple ceremonies. For a wider temple-led selection beyond this style group, see our antique temple necklace sets.

The styles in this edit

Embrace the divine with Lakshmi's grace in every piece. Lakshmi sits as the central motif, framed by traditional detailing that reads instantly as temple craft in a rich gold polish; if you enjoy deity-led patterns across formats, browse antique motif necklaces for related ideas.

Ruby-red and emerald-green potta stones run in defined bands, held securely with bandhai work that creates continuous colour paths around the neckline. The saturated palette highlights the motif and gives clear structure to the long profile.

Extended lengths deliver a true long necklace look, while the lower-edge drops add a soft, cascading finish. The adjustable thread tie-back helps balance the piece on the neck and positions the centerpiece exactly where you want it.

How and when to wear them

Choose these for wedding rituals, festive pujas and milestone family events where a temple jewellery set anchors the look. Drape over a silk saree with a high, sweetheart or V-neck blouse; they also complement a lehenga or anarkali when you want a temple jewellery necklace to frame the bodice. For layered bridal stacks, pair the long haar with temple short necklaces at the collarbone so motifs don’t overlap, and keep the ruby–green palette consistent; for lighter functions in the same colour story, consider ruby teardrop necklace sets. Keep your long haram designs as the focal layer and add only slim bangles or studs to avoid crowding the neckline.

Choosing the right piece and caring for it

Match the ruby-red and emerald-green stones to your saree border or blouse embroidery; contrasted pastels also make the gold polish pop. If you are petite or prefer a subtler presence, pick slimmer profiles and wear the pendant center slightly higher; the adjustable thread lets you fine-tune drop and balance. Keep fashion jewellery away from water, perfume and humidity, wipe it dry after wear, and store each piece separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratches and stone abrasion.
