Passa

A passa is a traditional South Asian side-head ornament worn along the temple, usually on the left side. It is typically crafted from gold, kundan, or pearls and features a fan-shaped or cascading design that drapes gracefully from the hairline. Commonly worn by brides, a passa adds a regal, Mughal-inspired elegance to the overall look and is often paired with a maang tikka for a complete bridal headpiece set.
