Bindiya....like a bindi. :P

(The "red dot")

It's supposed to be bindi...but I guess it's some different dialect.

*It's not the plural form....I think the pl. form would be "bindiyein"

*And like what Miami said, a bindi signifies marriage, but these days, it's more of a fashion thing. And they come in all different colors and shapes and sizes! xP

Hope that helps. :)

It depends what you are asking. Are you asking whether the English word "god" has a meaning; and if so what is it? Or are you asking whether "God (the Creator" has meaning in who He is and what He does? The first question about the Eng word "god"; well to be honest, I do NOt know what is the origin of the word. I guess I can check online, but that would be me just regurgitating what someone else has written. I tend to think of the Eng word "god" to refer to "a or the Creator". When used of the biblical God, then I would refer to "God" as meaning "the uncreated Creator who is full of power and might; a king who has the right and ability to judge, but is not confined to a physical form" As for whether the God of the Bible has meaning... I would say that the question is the wrong way round: the God of the Bible is the means by which ALL else has meaning. No thing can have meaning unless the God of the Bible is truly who He says He is. I understand then that this implies that one has to accept that the God of the Bible - 1 - Exists 2 - Can be experienced by mankind 3 - The Bible is an accurate account of God communicating with mankind (in its original language) I guess what could help answer the second question is "Why should anything have meaning?" Or better still "Why are humans looking for meaning in things?" across ALL cultures throughout all of recorded history... Hope this helps

"Bindiya" is derived from the sanskrit word "Bindu" which means a *dot*. Bindiya relates to females (married or unmarried).

Traditionally Bindiya is a circular piece of velvet cloth/paper with a skin friendly adhiesive applied to one side.

Traditionally Bindiya is red (or dark magenta) in colour - symbol of a married women.

Now a days (thanks to fashion awareness) bindiya is found in all shapes and sizes and of course flashy colours. Now a days even stone studded and gold crafted bindiya are in the market.

Females wear a Bindiya on their forehead right in the middle and between the eyebrows. The sticky side is used to hold the bindiya in proper position on the forehead.

Bindiya is a fashion statement and no doubt increases the beauty of a femenine face multifolds with its mere presence on her forehead.

Bindiya is *symbolic* and so necessarily does not have to always be on a piece of cloth/paper. For example it can be easily substituted with a *circular mark* created with a lipstick.

It is true that in India females do not wear a Bindiya if her husband is dead.

I hope this helps !
