What does it mean if the Hindu women touch the red dot on their forehead?
It doesn't mean anything when she touches it but there is
usually red where her parted hair is because that's the sign of
marrige. The reason people wear the "red dot" is because that's our
way of saying we worship our intellect that "the man upstairs" gave
us. The "red dot" has now become more of a fashion statement but
the original meaning has nothing to do with beauty.
