FOREHEAD BEAUTY!

Hello people.... Welcome back...
Hahaha, it reminds of the new Bollywood movie 'Welcome back' starring Anil Kapoor, Nana Patekar and John Abraham. It would fit in some of the perfect Bollywood masala movies, good timepass...had fun. Anil Kapoor looks amazing. I think I never told you that I am a huge Bollywood fan... I enjoy each and every movie... Hahaha..
Well! coming back to the topic. Today I'll be talking about Forehead jewellery. It is a beautiful ornament. It has always been my favourite. You know, during my childhood days, I was crazy about Maangtikkas. Heroines wearing maangtikkas attracted me so much. I used to make maangtikkas out of flowers and even mom's accessories. Mom's loombas  (rakhis for sister in law) looked beautiful as maangtikkas. Childhood days were so amazing. But they never come back :(
 Well! we will talk about my childhood some other time.

Back to the topic, forehead jewellery has been an important part of our Indian culture since ancient times...The centre of the forehead i.e between the eyebrows is also known as Ajna Chakra or Third Eye. It energises the pituitary gland and is also important for the endocrine and nervous system. It is believed that this chakra helps us to attain higher spiritual energy.

Apart from its spiritual impact, forehead jewellery has an aesthetic effect also.
Today we will take a look at the various forehead ornaments.

MAANTIKKAS- Maangtikka is a beautiful piece jewellery worn by an Indian bride. It accentuates the beauty of the bride. The maang is a stringed portion that lays flat between the parting of the hair. And the tikka is the jeweled part that sits on the forehead. 
Maantikka can be worn in various styles. It is known by various other names in India such as Borla in Rajasthan, neeti chutti in South India, and Chirri tikka in Himachal Pradesh.

MAATHA PATTI- Maatha Patti ia another variation of Maangtikka.  In this, the Tikka lies in the centre of the forehead and is held by chains on both the sides. It is so much in trend these days. Most of the brides today are opting for such Maatha pattis.  Even the models are seen wearing it these days. It looks both traditional and stylish.

JHOOMAR- Jhoomar is another type of forehead jewellery worn by muslim girls. In this, the tikka lies on one side of the head. It looks lovely and worn mostly on the left side. As per latest tradition, Jhoomar can also be worn in the centre like the Maangtikka.
