Baby Mould Bindi (Achu Pottu) – Traditional Forehead Decor for Infants

Celebrate your little one’s heritage with the timeless charm of Baby Mould Bindi, also known as Achu Pottu in Tamil. This traditional accessory is designed to adorn your baby’s forehead with beautiful, precise patterns, reflecting age-old cultural practices and adding an extra touch of protection and style.

What is Baby Mould Bindi (Achu Pottu)?

Baby Mould Bindi is a classic decorative mark traditionally applied on infants’ foreheads across many Indian households. Crafted using safe, natural kajal paste, the moulds enable you to create clean, elegant prints easily — preserving the cultural significance while ensuring gentle care for delicate baby skin.

How to Apply Baby Mould Bindi Perfectly

Achieve flawless prints with our easy-to-follow method:

1. Take a small amount of kajal paste from the box and gently rub it on the side of your hand.

2. Select the mould design you prefer and lightly press the mould sideways onto the kajal on your hand to coat it evenly.

3. Carefully place the mould on your baby’s forehead in a single smooth motion—avoid tapping multiple times to maintain a sharp, clear pattern.

Important Tips:

• Never dip the mould directly into the kajal paste as it causes excessive sticking and thicker, uneven prints.

• Following these steps ensures beautiful and precise designs every time.
