The gold mukut is the traditional Bengali bridal crown – a tiara/diadem worn by the bride at Bengali Hindu weddings. Unlike a simple maang tikka, the mukut is a full ornamental crown that sits atop the bride’s head, often featuring intricate temple-style motifs, peacocks and floral designs. It is one of the heaviest single bridal pieces, typically weighing 30g–70g.
At resale, only the gold weight and purity determine cash value – the traditional Bengali craftsmanship does not add value.
