noun

चोण्डा meaning in English

A traditional topknot or bun of hair, often worn by men in South Asia.

Detailed Explanation

A style of hair arrangement where the hair is gathered and tied into a knot or bun, typically at the back of the head.

It is distinct from a simple ponytail as it is usually secured tightly and often adorned with a comb or ornament.
