Maang Tikka One of the most beautiful forms of Indian jewelry is worn on the forehead. Head jewelry is highly intricate, valuable, and makes a great addition to any outfit for any occasion. The origins of forehead jewelry are both fascinating and evocative, because they are a part of longstanding Hindu tradition that features them in scripture, fashion, and formality. It really is amazing how much beauty this relatively small piece of jewelry can add to the most extravagant outfits.
Headpiece jewelry is relatively simple in design, featuring two main parts. Typically, a maang tikka Indian headpiece will be made from a single ornament with strings on either side. These strings generally have hooks on the ends of them that allow them to be held up on the hair. Sometimes a tikka headpiece will be focused on a large, heavy jewel; other times they are light and delicate. The name “maang tikka� is derived from the literal pieces of the design; the tikka rests on the forehead, while maang refers to the partition in the hair where the string is held. The various designs and formations of the headpiece jewelry can be purely cosmetic, or can be specifically designed to hold religious and spiritual significance.
