The position of the tilaka is standard: centre of the forehead. It represents a third, inner eye. Hindu tradition holds that all people have three eyes, the two outer ones used for seeing the outside world, the third one focusing inward toward God. As such, the red dot signifies piety as well as serving as a constant reminder to keep God in the front of a believer's thoughts. Let's be clear... Indian people not apply a dot on forehead. Only Hindus who worship Hindu religion apply a dot on their forehead, not all Indian peoples. The red dot between their eyebrows known as a bindi or bindu are commonly worn by hindus and indians.It is a symbol of their religion, auspiciousness, good fortune, and marital status and usually worn after marriage. In their religion it represents the 3rd eye of the spiritual sight. It is made by a red powder called Sindur Made by powdered turmeric and fresh lime juice. There is also a black bindi and it is worn often before marriage and used to ward off the evil eye. Young girls are free to wear any color they want. So a dot worn between somebody's eyebrows has so much history, life, and information.
