Symbolism of Mongolian wedding ring
映像The distinctive feature of Mongolian traditional wedding ring is in its unique design and symbolism. Traditionally, the groom’s ring is called “Khaan buguivch” and bride’s one - “Khatan suikh”.
The groom’s wedding ring has two crowns crossed with one another. The shape of the male ring is round resembling the Mongolian ger (yurt) which has a round crown which is called the “toono” (the circular opening at the top of the Mongolian yurt).
This means the husband symbolizes the hearth protecting his wife and family.
The female ring has a shape of a square which is similar to the shape of the Mongolian ger “bagana” or columns. It is supposed to represent the column that holds up the ger’s top. This means the wife supports her husband as the columns does the ger top.
The two eyes (circles) inside the ring symbolizes the couple, whereas the outer three circles means the firm bonds to the parents, siblings and relatives. The two crossed crown shapes means the couple will live together forever and happily.
The groom wears his wedding ring on the right hand ring finger which means he honors her respect. The bride wears her wedding ring on the left hand wedding ring finger. This symbolizes that she is in his heart.
