South Indian brides are more inclined to braids than buns. So Rakodi or the billas are a trademark. These Rakodis are used at the start of the braid similar to a juda pin. A juda pin makes the bun looks literally royal with all the bling in it. So the brides who are trying a bun for their big day do not forget to pick out the kundan and polki juda pins.
