Bindi The Great Indian Forehead Art.A woman's beauty is multiplied 1,000 times when she wears a bindi. Bindi has been the most visually attractive of all forms of body decoration. In fact,bindi is the first shringar and has a strong religious implication.Hindus attach great importance to this ornamental mark on the forehead between the two eyebrows -- a spot considered a major chakra point in the human body since ancient times. Also loosely known as tika ,pottu ,sindoors ,tilak ,tilakam , and kumkum , a bindi is usually a small or a big eye-catching round mark made on the forehead as adornment.The red 'kumkum' between the eyebrows is said to retain energy in the human body and control the various levels of concentration. It is also the central point of the base of the creation itself ; symbolizing auspiciousness and good fortune.
