People often ask me what is Bugadi and where is it worn.

Bugadis have always been worn in the helix region of the ear. They are very popular in Maharashtra and in Karnataka where it is fondly known as the “Koppu”.

Bugadi also means Lock. Bugadi is also one type of rice and Bugadi is also one type of chilli. Bugadi is also one type of flower embroidery

But why this ornament has been named as Bugadi is not known.

Over the period, a lot of new designs of Bugadis are invented in the market.
