The likes of Vanessa Hudgens, Gwen Stefani and Selena Gomez have been seen sporting decorative motifs over their agna chakra spots at events they attended or as part of their performance costumes.
In the past decade, a number of western celebrities and cultural icons have found themselves facing heat over their choice to wear the bindi as body art.
