سولہ سنگھار

Some people may find it interesting. Indian culture is well known with the word "sola singhar" for makeups used by women. When a woman has 16 singhar means she is fully 'beutified"!
  1. مانگ کا ٹیکا
  2. مانگ میں سیندور کی دھار
  3. بندیا
  4. آنکھ کا کاجل
  5. جھمکا یا بالی
  6. ناک کی نتھنی
  7. کلائی کی چوڑیاں
  8. ہاتھ کی انگوٹھیاں
  9. ہتھیلی اور دوسرے حصوں پر مہندی کی نقاشی
  10. کمر بند
  11. بازو بند
  12. عطر یا خوشبو
  13. گجرا
  14. پائل / پازیب
  15. بچھیا (پیر کی انگوٹھی)
  16. ہار۔۔۔۔۔
