Karnataka & Andhra Pradesh Temple Jewellery Temple

The Karnataka and coastal Andhra jewellery tradition draws directly from the Vijayanagara empire — bold, deity-rich, and unafraid of scale.

Karnataka's goldsmithing lineage runs through Hampi, Mysuru and Belur — Vijayanagara temples whose sculpture became the design language of the Kannadiga bride. The peta (broad marriage necklace), the addige (choker), the vaddaanam (waist belt) and the karimani mangalsutra with its black-bead and gold-cup construction are the region's signatures. Coastal Andhra Pradesh shares this vocabulary and adds its own — Vaddanam waist belts of unusual weight, temple-style pusthelu (mangalsutras), heavy kasu haram, and elaborate Guttapusalu (bead-and-pearl bridal necklaces) that are unmistakably Telugu. Ambaa Gold's Karnataka & Andhra edit is built for both. Our karigars execute the Mysuru peta and Vijayawada Guttapusalu in the correct scale and finish, in 22K 916 BIS hallmarked gold, with dealer-friendly weights for Bengaluru, Mysuru, Mangaluru, Hubballi, Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada retail counters. Full bridal coordination, private label branding and insured pan-India dispatch are standard — with export lanes for the Kannadiga and Telugu diaspora in the US, Singapore and the Gulf.
