Golden Collections Black Kemp Maang Tikka – Bharatanatyam Temple Jewellery

This exquisite Maang Tikka from Golden Collections enhances the dancer's silhouette, drawing attention to their expressive facial movements and intricate footwork. Its central placement on the hairline anchors the entire costume, symbolizing the third eye and bringing a temple-lamp brilliance to every Aharya Abhinaya. The carefully crafted design ensures it remains a focal point, reflecting the devotion inherent in Bharatanatyam.

Design • Function • Tradition

The Maang Tikka, known as ‘Nethi Chutti’ in Tamil and ‘Papidi Billalu’ in Telugu, is an essential embellishment in Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi. It traditionally rests on the forehead, symbolizing wisdom and divine connection, and is integral to the complete Alankaram of a dancer, accentuating the grace required for performances across the Margam.

Our Heritage Store & Design Atelier in Secunderabad handles design, quality, finishing, and curation, while the actual crafting is executed by select master artisans under our strict guidance.
