Collection: Mathapati / mangtika

It sounds like you're referring to "Mathapati" or "Mangtika" — both are traditional pieces of jewelry worn in South Asian cultures, often by women, especially during weddings or festive occasions.

  • Mathapati: This term is generally used in parts of India, referring to a type of jewelry worn on the forehead. It's a traditional adornment that often has a chain or string, with a decorative piece that rests on the forehead. It can be a part of bridal jewelry, especially in Hindu weddings.

  • Mangtika: This is the more commonly used term, and it refers to the same type of forehead ornament. "Mangtika" is often made with gold, silver, or other precious metals and may feature intricate designs, sometimes with gems or pearls. It's worn in the middle of the forehead and is a significant part of traditional attire in many South Asian cultures.
