Wooden Swings (Jhoola/Oonjal) - Timeless Charm for Your Home & Garden
Wooden swings, known as jhoola(Jhula) in Hindi or oonjal in South Indian traditions, have been an integral part of Indian homes for centuries. These suspended seats originated as royal entertainment in palaces and evolved into a cultural staple in courtyards and verandas. Beyond their nostalgic appeal, modern wooden swings offer scientifically proven benefits - the gentle rocking motion (0.5-1 Hz frequency) stimulates the vestibular system, reducing stress hormones by up to 28% according to University of Geneva studies. At Royalzig, we preserve this heritage through luxury wooden swings that combine traditional craftsmanship with ergonomic design for contemporary living.
