Bindis- Elegant Way to style Yourself in Traditional Outfit

 Bindis are inherently an integral part of Indian fashion and have been so since time immemorial. The term bindi is derived from the Sanskrit term Bindu which denotes a drop or a dot, and it is so in the case of the bindi. It is a drop or a dot in between the eyebrows or on the centre of the forehead. This sort of accessory is done by Indian women since history and it is said to ward off an evil eye and enhance the beauty of women. The bindi is also known to celebrate intellect and is worn in the place of the alleged third eye or the pituitary gland and is said to hold energy and strength for the one who wears it.

 Best ways of wearing bindis:

  1. Bengali bindi: this is one of the most popular manners of wearing a bindi and is extremely popular among women who are married. The Bengali style of wearing a bindi is basically wearing a red bindi with wedding salwar in the middle of the forehead. This is also called the Bengali bindi since Bengali women in general love wearing a red bindi and popularized wearing them, irrespective of their marital status.

 


  1. Line bindi: this type of bindi is also worn on the forehead in the shape of a long line. The bindi gives shape and character and adds depth to a person’s face, especially if they have a bigger forehead or a face that is oval, or both. The length of the bindi actually provides some length to the person’s face and can be worn with a kohl, or the usual sticker bindis. With respect to the contemporary bohemian fashion scape, this type of bindis can also add a hippie touch to your look.

 


  1. Little black dot: this has to be the most popular style of bindis, and is worn by everyone starting from college kids, to office goers. This black bindi gives depth and a proportion to the person’s face and adds sharpness and gives completeness to their faces.

 


  1. Marathi bindi: if you have seen Sanjay Leela Bhansali movies and still failed to spot the Marathi bindi, we would break it down for you. This bindi originated in Maharashtra and looks like a crescent moon. It is a reversed crescent with a small dot that is worn right in the centre of the forehead and is extremely popular among ladies living near the coasts.

 


  1. Maang teeka design: maang teeka is originally an ornament that is worn at the parting of your hair, in the middle of the head and the front part of it dangles on the forehead. A maang teeka bindi is worn in the upper part of the forehead as opposed to the traditional bindis which are worn in the centre of the forehead. This can be a simple or a jewelled bindi depending on the person’s choice.

 


  1. Stone bindi: this type of bindi is mainly a sticker variant of a bindi which is worn with stones. Patterns can be made of different colours and adorned the forehead. The most luxurious and expensive alternative of this sort of bindi uses different crystals. These types of bindis go undoubtedly well with sequined or embroidered Kurtis, sarees, salwars and can make you look very dressed up in an instant.

Times are changing and so are the outfits, but what’s sad is we are slowly but steadily growing out of our sarees and Kurtis and moving into western gowns which are pretty too but quite behind on the magic. This could be easily blamed on our beloved celebrities as they generally have these amazing western outfits when they grace the red carpets and our oh-so-fashionable dreams!

What most Indian women forget is that we have quite a different body and are much more naturally endowed in comparison to the western women out there!
