Chudamani

A Chudamani (Hindi: चूडामणि) is a lotus-shaped Indian headdress that is usually studded with jewels. It is worn in the center of a knot of hair. The headdress derives its name from chuda (Hindi:चूड़ा) meaning 'bundle of hair' and mani (Hindi:मणि) meaning 'jewel'. Chudamani may also refer to ivory bangles worn by brides during wedding ceremonies in Gujarat. When a Chudamani is studded with rubies, it is known as an Aruna Chudamani.
