Description

The listing, A beautiful pack of Indian Bindis has ended.

With changing fashion, women
try out many shapes and
designs. It is, at times a straight
vertical line or an oval, a triangle
or miniature artistry ('alpana')
made with a fine-tipped stick, dusted with gold and silver
powder, studded with beads and
crusted with glittering stones.
The advent of the sticker-bindi made of felt with glue on one
side, has not only added colors,
shapes and sizes to the bindi but
is an ingenious easy-to-use
alternative to the powder.
Today, bindi is more of a fashion statement than anything else,
and the number of young
performers sporting bindis is
overwhelming even in the West.
Questions & Comments
Original
Bindis are worn throughout
South Asia, specifically India,
Nepal, and Sri Lanka, by
women, men, girls and boys,
and no longer signify age,
marital status, religious background or ethnic affiliation.The bindi has become a decorative item and is no longer restricted in colour or shape. Self- adhesive bindis (also known as sticker bindis) are available, usually made of felt or thin metal and adhesive on the other side. These are simple to apply. Sticker bindis come in many colors, designs
materials, and sizes. Some are decorated with sequins, glass beads, or rhinestones. . Bindis are now popular outside South Asia as well. Sometimes they are worn as a style statement.
International celebrities such as Julia Roberts,Madonna and many others have been seen wearing bindis. Bindis were a trend for teenage girls in the U.S. during the mid-1990s. Gwen Stefani, of the band No Doubt, popularized bindis as well as mehndi on the hands.The Indian influence in the U.S. is seen in packed
yoga studios, Bollywood-style
exercise classes, as well as in
American women’s fashion
adaptation of bindi (forehead
decoration), mehndi (henna body art) and colorful Indian- style garments .Bindis are not as fashionable to the younger generation and are often worn on formal
and traditional occasions now.
The popularity of bindis varies with the latest fashion trends of South Asia. There was a time when bindis
were solely used to beautify
the space between eyebrows; however, this notion has largely changed over time.
Today bindis are worn even in a place like the corner of
one's eyes. The white-stone
bindis are widely used by
young women to adorn their
eyes. In India, bindis are used
by young girls to decorate nails, nose and even the belly button.
