In India the piercing of the nostril is supposed to make childbirth easier. It has its origin in Ayurvedic medicine. Ayurvedic means 'life knowledge' and is a common believe system among Hindus. Other facial piercings have their roots in a different culture other than Hindu. Cheek piercings are part of rituals in ancient Persia and modern Thailand. Lip piercings come from Africa and tongue piercings were a part of Mayan and Aztec culture. Eyebrow piercing along with the dangerous piercing of the Uvula is a modern trend.

A piece of stead-like ornament worn by women in their nose, commonly known as nose-ring and nose stead. (known as Mukkuthi or Mookuthi in Tamil and Nath in Hindi) The custom to wear this ornamental jewel is typically different from one state to other, one caste to other and even different amongst communities. One custom observed by some sects is that it be used as a tool to help young women in their rite of passage into adulthood. By having a nose piercing it reminds young woman that they are no longer children and must be responsible for their individual actions as an adult. This practice usually begins at the time that young girls begin their menstrual cycle. It also identifies them to other members of their community of their status, that they must be treated with the respect of an adult and therefore must act accordingly. It has been significantly helpful in developing the maturity of young woman as they struggle between childhood and adulthood.
