RING FINGER HAS TO BE WORN IN THE RIGHT HAND FOR HINDUS

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From time immemorial it has been a tradition in India to make the pavitra ring out of the holy darbha grass and wear it during auspicious occasions and the performance of religious rites. There are references to the ring in the Mahabharatha and the Agni Purana.

The pavitra ring is to be worn on the ring finger of the right hand. In most of the Vedic and Tantric rituals the right hand, with which the yajnas, homas and pujas are performed, is purified by wearing a pavitra ring on the ring finger.
