The Nath

In India, nose piercing is as much a part of tradition as bangles are. For many women, nose piercing is a coming-of-age ritual of sorts. It signifies womanhood, elegance, and for some even a sense of rebellion. Which side the piercing is done depends on what part of India you come from. Women in the south prefer the right side, while the rest of the country opt for the left nostril.
