A matha patti afghani is a type of traditional South Asian headpiece that is commonly worn by brides on their wedding day. It consists of a chain that runs along the hairline, with a central pendant that sits on the forehead.
The term “afghani” refers to the style of the matha patti, which is inspired by the jewelry worn by women in Afghanistan. The afghani matha patti typically features a larger and more elaborate central pendant than other styles, often with intricate engravings, colorful beads, or precious stones.
Matha patti afghanis are usually made of gold or silver and are often encrusted with diamonds, rubies, emeralds, or other precious gems. They are often paired with other jewelry pieces, such as earrings and necklaces, to create a complete bridal look.
