What is the english translation of these hindi words "maang bharna & sindoor"?

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

The english word that can be used for "sindoor" is "vermilion".

For "maang bharna", I cannot imagine an established phrase, but you can creatively construct one nonetheless. If it were me, I'd say something like "to apply vermilion at the parting of her hair".

Answer 2

Wolfram's got it right about sindoor - it's a vermillion-colored powder worn by women in the part of their hair to indicate that they are married, first put in during the wedding ceremony.

As for "maang bharna", this refers to the part itself, called "maang". "Maang bharna" means, to fill the part in the hair [with sindoor], and is usually a euphimistic way of speaking about a woman getting married.

Answer 3

THERE CAN NOT BE ANY TRANSLATION, EXCEPT LITERALLY. BECAUSE, IT IS AN HINDU CULTURAL PRACTISE. I DOUBT EVEN URDU HAS IT.

Answer 6

Sindoor is a red powder used by married Hindu women. During the marriage ceremony, the groom applies sindoor to the parting of the bride's hair to show that she is now a married woman. Subsequent sindoor is applied by the wife as part of her dressing routine. Once widowed, a woman is not supposed to wear sindoor.

maang bharna means to fulfill somones desire or wish
