An Indian bride is considered incomplete by most if she is not loaded with jewellery that accentuates her look. Bridal jewellery is often connected with auspiciousness and mythical importance, hence, one of the most important aspects of bridal shopping is hunting for the right bridal jewellery. The point where the maang teeka falls is believed to be the Ajna chakra, which in Sanskrit means “to know or perceive”. The chakra is represented by two petals signifying the holy union of male and female on a spiritual, physical and emotional level.
