The bor or rakhdi, also known as a ghundi or borla, is worn in the centre of the forehead, at the hairline. It is made of either gold or silver. Its shape is generally spherical but it can sometimes have a flat top. Designs are usually crafted on the surface through the process of granulation. On its sides and back these are provisions for attaching other ornaments. The bor, is some times, made in a combination of lac and gold. A small tube is attached to the front of the sphere. Sometimes colourful beads are threaded on the curved face of the ornament. A fine chain called the tidibalka is worn below the bor forming a semi-circular frame for it.
