What is a Bindi?



Forehead Jewels traditionally known
as Bindis are worn by females to decorate their forehead and enhance their beauty. However for Indian women, Bindi hold a more significant role than just a beauty accessory. Bindi is believed to be a symbol of marriage for Indian women. The fashion of wearing Bindi is growing around the world day by day. Celebrities like Madonna & Shania Twain have also been seen wearing Bindi.

The traditional way of applying a Bindi is on forehead just between the eyebrows. However you could also apply a Bindi on the center parting of your hairline on your forehead for a glamorous yet ethnic look. Small stone dot Bindi can also be applied on the cheeks or on the edge of the eyes or near the lips for a sizzling look.

Bindi comes in various shapes and designs. Depending on the mood and the attire you are wearing, Bindi should be selected. A plain round Red Bindi is the most traditional of all and would be the best Fashion accessory to give that devotional and traditional look. Long Bindi is perfect for a formal occasion and would look great with a formal Indian Tunic.
