A maang tikka is a traditional Indian head jewellery piece consisting of a decorative pendant attached to a chain or string, worn along the centre parting of the hair with the pendant resting on the forehead just above the eyebrow line. The hook or pin at the other end is secured into the hair near the crown of the head. It is a key piece of bridal jewellery worn across North Indian, Punjabi, Rajasthani, and many other Indian wedding traditions.

Popular Maang Tikka Styles in This Collection
Kundan Maang Tikka — The all-time bridal favourite. Kundan maang tikkas feature glass or semi-precious stones set in gold foil, creating a regal, mirror-like sparkle that reads beautifully in both natural and flash photography. Pair with a matching kundan necklace and jhumkas for a complete Mughal-era bridal look.
Gold-Plated Maang Tikka — A classic that never dates. Gold-plated tikkas in round, floral, and peacock motifs work seamlessly with silk sarees, bridal lehengas, and Anarkali suits. Ideal for weddings, Karva Chauth, Diwali parties, and reception looks. The warm gold finish complements every skin tone.
Oxidised Silver Maang Tikka — The modern bride's choice for pre-wedding functions, Mehndi nights, and Navratri. Oxidised tikkas have an antique, earthy quality that pairs beautifully with mirror-work lehengas, bandhani sarees, Rajasthani outfits, and boho-ethnic styles. Lightweight and effortlessly cool.
Pearl Maang Tikka — Soft, timeless, and endlessly elegant. Pearl maang tikkas suit pastel bridal lehengas, ivory sarees, and minimalist bridal aesthetics. A pearl tikka with a matching pearl necklace is the go-to for brides who want a refined, understated look that photographs beautifully in natural light.
American Diamond (AD) Maang Tikka — Maximum sparkle, minimal spend. AD maang tikkas mimic the brilliance of diamond jewellery with zircon or cubic zirconia stones set in silver or gold plating. Perfect for reception nights, engagements, and cocktail-themed wedding functions where you want your jewellery to gleam under event lighting.
Bridal Matha Patti — For brides who want to make a full statement. A matha patti extends beyond a single pendant, framing the forehead with an elaborate headpiece of chains, stones, and drops. Our matha patti styles suit heavy bridal lehengas and traditional North and South Indian bridal looks.
How to Choose Your Maang Tikka by Face Shape
Choosing the right maang tikka by face shape ensures your headpiece frames — rather than overwhelms — your features:
- Round face — choose long, elongated tikkas with a drop pendant that creates vertical length
- Oval face — almost any style works; medium-round or single-strand tikkas are classic choices
- Square face — circular motifs and dangling styles soften angular features
- Long or diamond face — wider horizontal designs or matha pattis balance face length
- Heart-shaped face — medium-sized tikkas with a tapered pendant are most flattering
How to Style Your Maang Tikka
Place your maang tikka chain along the centre parting of your hair, with the pendant resting just above the eyebrow line. For a bridal bun, secure the chain hook into the hair near the crown — a bobby pin helps hold it in place. Pair a heavy kundan tikka with simpler earrings and let the tikka lead. For a minimalist tikka, layer with statement jhumkas or a choker necklace. On Karva Chauth or festive occasions, a small gold or pearl tikka paired with a traditional bun and gajra creates a timeless look that photographs beautifully.
