Sabyasachi is facing unending trolls online after launching a jewellery collection featuring a mangalsutra, which has not gone down well with Hindu religious sentiments.

Luxury label Sabyasachi’s recent advertisement has come under fire on Twitter by netizens for ‘misappropriating’ a mangalsutra.

The luxury label recently launched an Intimate Fine Jewellery collection featuring ‘The Royal Bengal Mangalsutra,’ and shared images of the new line on its official Instagram handle.

Starting from a price of Rs 1,65,000, the caption on the post describes it as “Introducing the Royal Bengal Mangalsutra 1.2 and the Bengal Tiger Icon collection of necklaces, earrings and signet rings in 18k gold with VVS diamonds, black onyx and black enamel”.

The advertisement campaign features a woman in denim and a bra and wearing a mangalsutra, which has been launched as part of the collection.

A mangalsutra is a symbol of marriage and the wife is meant to wear it all her life indicating the love and commitment the husband and wife have towards each other. A typical mangalsutra has two strings of black beads and a gold pendant.
