An integral part of an Indian bride’s solah shringar, a nath (a nose ring or nose pin attached with a chain) completes a woman’s look on her D-day. As per Hindu culture, it is considered as a way of paying respect to Goddess Parvati. On the other hand, Ayurvedic science claims that getting nose pierced helps a woman in having painless periods. Another scientific theory states that getting the nose pierced on the left nostril ensures lesser pain during childbirth since, the nerves on this side are connected to the female reproductive organs.
