Bindi

bindiBindi is derived from bindu, the Sanskrit word for dot. It is usually a red dot made with vermilion powder, which is worn by women between their eyebrows on their forehead. Considered a symbol of Parvati, a bindi signifies female energy and is believed to protect women and their husbands. Traditionally a symbol of marriage (vivaha), it has also become decorative and is worn today by unmarried girls and women as well. Widows however, usually do not wear a bindi.

No longer restricted in colour or shape, bindis are seen in many bright colours and in different shapes and designs. They are also made of coloured felt and embellished with coloured glass or glitter.
