We’ve done all the research for you and bring you a checklist of hair accessories for your bridal beauty.

MAANG TIKKA

Maang tikka is an integral part of a bride’s ensemble. The ornament dangles at the hairline—centre or side partition, with its string to grip and lock your hair. There are many variants of maang tikka; the Rajasthani bride wears a round-shaped maang tikka referred to as bor; and the Muslim bride wears the maang tikka on the side of the head, referred to as jhumar tikka.

For a Punjabi wedding, you can wear a delicate maang tikka with salwar kameez. For a Hindu wedding, it will enhance the elegance of your lehenga; and a Muslim bride can ace her sharara game further with its intricate design.
