Avaramala (Sanskrit:वरमाला,romanized: Varamālā,lit. 'boon garland')[1] or ajayamala (Sanskrit:जयमाला,romanized: Jayamālā,lit. 'victory garland')[2][3] is aSouth Asian garland that is most commonly associated with its eponymous ritual during aHindu wedding ceremony.[4] Traditionally, a varamala is made of roses and other flowers,[5] though modern variations exist, such as garlands made fromrupee notes, and other regional traditions.

The jayamala ceremony is a well-known ritual during aHindu wedding, where a bride and a groom exchange garlands, as an indication of acceptance of each other as their spouse, and a pledge to respect them throughout the rest of their lives.[6][7]
