India Jump - September 2008

Bindi…the forehead dot

September 3rd 2008 06:42
A bindi is a most commonly used forehead decoration by Indian women. It is actually a circular dot placed between the eyebrows. It can be made using vermilion, some colors or most commonly nowadays with the help of stickers coming in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors and easily removable.


Modern as well as traditional women wear bindis, as they are a symbol of style as well as sanctity; they are a symbol of marriage as well as panache….

Some say a traditional Indian dress seems incomplete without a bindi. Some even wonder why only women wear it and how this age old custom came to be…


For more on the history of this fore head dot…keep reading more posts later this week.
