Shola mukut is used in both Bengal and rural Odisha during marriage. It is known to bring good luck to the couple. It is made out of Sholapith/Indian cork, which is a white spongey plant material. It is very fragile and requires to be handled with care. The mukut adorned by the bride is usually white in colour. The Bengali mukut designs have intricately woven work. Now a days less people are practicing it. I met one of them during my Kolkata tour.
