JEWELLERY SETS - The Maang Tikka

'The Maang Tikka is an integral part of an Indian bride’s ensemble. It is essentially a piece of jewelry that has a hanging ornament at one end and a hair pin at the other. The pin is attached to the hair in such a way that the ornament dangles at the hairline of the woman. 

It is said; that it is designed in such a way that it rests on the sixth chakra of the forehead, as told in Hindu mythology and represents the third eye, or the power of the soul. The forehead’s center, where the maang tikka is placed, also signifies one’s ability to control emotions, and the power of concentration. 

The traditional appeal of this accessory has made it extremely popular, not only in India but across the world. these days a simple maang tikka can be worn for a religious or festive occasion.'
