Maang Tikka Designs — Silver & Oxidised Forehead Jewellery

Glamaya's maang tikka collection celebrates one of India's most iconic hair jewellery traditions. Handcrafted by Jaipur artisans, our designs range from delicate minimalist tikkas for daily wear to elaborate stone-set pieces for weddings and festivals. Each maang tikka design is crafted in genuine silver and German silver with secure hook attachments.

The maang tikka has been an essential part of Indian adornment for centuries, worn at the centre of the forehead along the hair parting. Our collection honours this heritage while incorporating modern design sensibilities — from traditional Kundan and Rajasthani styles to contemporary bohemian chain tikkas.

Why Glamaya Maang Tikkas?

Our maang tikka collection is handcrafted using traditional Jaipur metalworking techniques. Each piece features secure hook mechanisms that stay in place throughout the day without slipping. We use genuine silver that is comfortable against the skin and does not cause irritation. With designs ranging from Rs 200 minimalist pieces to elaborate festive tikkas, our range covers every occasion and budget.

Styling Your Maang Tikka

For the classic look, part your hair in the centre and hook the maang tikka at the hairline with the pendant resting at the centre of your forehead. Pair with matching jhumkas and a necklace for a complete ethnic ensemble. For a modern twist, wear a minimalist tikka with open hair and Western fusion outfits. A maang tikka instantly elevates any look from simple to stunning.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a maang tikka and how is it worn?

A maang tikka is a forehead ornament consisting of a decorative pendant attached to a chain with a hook at the end. The hook clips into the hair at the centre parting, and the pendant hangs at the centre of the forehead. It is a traditional part of Indian wedding and festive jewellery.

How do I keep my maang tikka from slipping?

Anchor the hook firmly into your hair parting and secure with a bobby pin underneath. For extra hold, spray a small amount of hairspray on the area before attaching. Ensure the chain length is appropriate so the pendant sits at the correct position on your forehead.

Can I wear a maang tikka without a centre parting?

Yes, you can adapt the maang tikka for side partings or even wear it asymmetrically for a modern look. Some women clip it to the side of the parting for a unique bohemian style. The pendant position can be adjusted based on your preference.

What is the difference between a maang tikka and a matha patti?

A maang tikka has a single chain running along the centre parting with one pendant. A matha patti has multiple chains that spread across the forehead and sometimes extend to the sides of the hair. Matha pattis provide more coverage and are typically more elaborate.

Which occasions call for a maang tikka?

Maang tikkas are traditionally worn at weddings, festivals like Diwali and Navratri, and cultural celebrations. However, minimalist tikkas are now popular for everyday ethnic wear, college events, and even casual Indo-Western styling.
