Oonjal

An oonjal is a swing that is typically anchored to the ceiling of a room - using iron link chains and the bottom is a wooden plank. This used to be a popular item of furniture in most southern Indian houses. They have been not as popular as houses give way to apartments. There is a popular wedding ritual in which the bride and groom sit on an oonjal decorated with flowers and receive blessings.
