Why do you oftentimes see a Indian women with a pink dot on her brow? The pink dot is a logo of her marriage. A North Indian female wears a pink streak on the parting of her hair. An single female often times wears a black dot on her brow. This black coloration is used to counteract the end results of the evil eye. If a gorgeous youthful female gets too many compliments, Indians experience that some sort of injury could come to her, so this dot repels evil impacts. cutting-edge youthful misses tournament the dots on their foreheads with the colour of their saris right this moment. it particularly is not classic yet purely a admired act.

it's symbolic of the third eye, found in the hindu religion. male practitioners may also have it.
