Crowning Glory: Iconic Side Maang Tikka Looks From Bollywood For The Perfect Mughal Bride

For brides seeking a regal, old-world elegance, the side maang tikka also known as a passa is the ultimate statement accessory. A Mughal-era heirloom revived on modern-day runways, this ornate headpiece is placed  on the side parting, framing the face with a soft, romantic allure.

Top designers like Sabyasachi, Tarun Tahiliani, and Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla frequently style their brides with elaborate passas, layered with pearls, kundan, and polki. Luxury jewelers such as Birdhichand Ghanshyamdas, Anita Dongre Pink City, Amrapali Jewels, and Raabta by Rahul offer exquisite side tikkas that pair beautifully with shararas and farshi ghararas.
