More than it being a symbol, it is more of a future proof plan devised by ancient Indians. Earlier, they did not spend on anything other than land or gold, as they knew ultimately only these 2 things can stand the test of time!
And in today’s economy, we can see how and why!
I had gone to India in 2001, and was amazed at seeing some of their weddings, really wished that mine was something like that!
Anyway, nice blog you got here..
