Earlier, rhinestone bindis, placed between the eyebrows, were elaborately painted on. Present day brides indulge in bling with gems replacing these rhinestone bindis. However, most brides prefer to go completely traditional and ethnic with chemical free paints for making elaborate red and white designs on the forehead- albeit dotted with shimmer and gems to go with the current trend.
