its a cultural thing,
women generally wear several bracelets. some signify things, some dont, (more like style)
I have heard some stories the idea of a lot of bangles, means that they make a noise when walking so scares/off of evil spirits.
also used in dancing again to make a pleasant jingling noise
both men/women wear a thread around there wrists, this is actualy given to signify brother/sister relationship or sometimes close cousin relationship.
on Siehks they wear one big havy metal braclet, this goes back to the time when they used to go go war/fight with other factions they could put there hand up to deflect a blade if necessary
a gold thread/chain on a married women is called a Thalli, this is given at the time of marriage and is never taken off whilst the person is married

What's with all the bracelets? Is there some kind of significance to them? There sure were a lot. Do the colors mean anything or are they cultural in some way?
And what's the deal with the "sex" building? Brothel shack?
