Traditional Haryanvi
earrings and nose rings need very large ear/nose lobe holes...
Ear piercing has been practiced all over the world since
ancient times. There is considerable written and archaeological evidence of the
practice Among the Haryanvi woman of India, earrings were a sign of nobility
and wealth, as the placement of each earring on a girl had to be purchased at
an expensive gold of 10 gram.
Method used to
enlarge their earlobe gauze was using…
• Peacock feather stem
• Tamarind powder
• Mustard oil
• Water
They cut the feather stems (starting from one stick) twice
the thickness of their earlobes, after piercing they used to wear metal (silver
or gold) rings, after healing (they used to apply mustered oil and, tamarind
powder, for healing). After healing they insert one stick from peacock feather
after making it very thin ( using water and rubbing the sticks with to and fro
movement in palms to make the sticks as thin as they can),after insertion they
spray water on ear lobes, so that the thin sticks gradually swallows and make
the earlobes large. They had to repeat the process tow-three times a day. After
some days they insert another set of feather sticks, they used to increase the
number of sticks, thus made their earlobe -holes larger to accommodate their
large earrings i.e. bujlies.
