The Chandrakor bindi was famously worn by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, symbolising pride, strength, and resilience. Once a royal emblem of Swarajya, it is proudly worn by both men and women during Maharashtrian festivals like Gudi Padwa and Ganesh Chaturthi. More than tradition, it represents a legacy of bravery and identity that continues to inspire generations today.
