For Karwa Chauth, applying mehendi is a tradition, but this season, why not try a modern alternative? Swap henna for stick-on embellished stones that last longer, take minutes to apply, and are extremely customisable.

Jewellery brand Amama has a set of these bindis, or embellished stones, that you can stick on your hands, priced at ₹1,100 for a set of 5. "When we created the mehendi bindi, it was really about giving women the freedom to celebrate rituals in a modern, fuss-free way. People are loving the instant sparkle and ornate look without the mess or waiting," founder Nikita Gupta tells us.
