It depends on the part of India you are referring to. In certain regions it means the woman is married, in others it is simply a body decoration. It is in between the eyebrows because this area is a major nerve center in the human body. It is also the sixth chakra, the third-eye chakra. It is the seat of wisdom and is related to clear insight. Also because i said so (:

∙ 12y agoThe "red dot on the forehead" in the Indian culture is called a Bindi, and represents the "third eye" or the "all seeing eye." It is sort of like a good luck charm that you wear in hope that good things will happen in your life ahead.
