There are different styles and types of maang tikka available. Let’s see which one is perfect for you

• Single Strand Maang Tikka - 

In this type of tikkas usually there is a single strand and single chain that is styled by parting of the hair, with a pendant hanging down on the forehead. It comes in Kundan or in stones with gold plating on it. It is styled for small events or as a bridesmaid.

• Maatha Patti - 

Maatha Patti is larger than traditional maang tikkas. They are designed in such a way that the whole forehead is covered. There are two chains which go behind the two ears and there are multiple gold chains or chains covered with pearls or kundans. This type of maang tikkas goes well for the bride to get that heavy and royal look. This looks good only on long faces.

• Borla - 

Borla maang tikka originated from Rajasthan and it features a dome shaped pendant with a gold chain.  Instead of a pendant they have a tassel hanging on their forehead. In Borla there are different designs like diamond, gemstones, kundans and much more. There is not only a single layer but there it comes with multiple layers also. Still in Rajasthani folk dances they wear this borla maang tikka.

Look for the Styling Tips of Maang Tikkas

There are different designs and shapes of maang tikkas so, styling different maang tikkas according to your outfit is a must. Let’s see here how to style perfectly

• Style according to you face shape - 

To coordinate maang tikka with your face shape is also important. If you have a long  face and you style minimal maang tikka then it will not highlight your maang tikka. Longers pendants will look good for a round face, while shorter pendants can balance out a longer face shape. 

• Hair Style Matters -

Hair style also goes hand in hand while styling maang tikka. If you are styling your hair with a bun or braid it will look good with center maang tikka. But if your hairstyle is open or side-parted then matha patti or any maang tikka with multiple layers will look good.

• Balance With Your Other Jewelry- 

If you are wearing gold jewelry then only gold maang tikka will go with your look. Even if you have gold jewelry but have diamonds in it then your maang tikka should also be in diamond. Same goes with kundan jewelry and kundan maang tikka. Every jewelry should be matching when it comes to traditional styling. Also if your necklace is big & bold then style something minimal maang tikka because over jewelry will also not give a good statement of look.
