Its worn after the puja is completed. Its not worn as an accessory.
Its not a "lucky charm", and its not analogous with the Sikh bracelet.
Also, Blair was not presented the thread as a "gift" when he went to the hindu temple - it was tied to his wrist after the prayer was completed.
It's a symbol of religious significance in Hinduism basically.
