In Indian culture, a dot on the forehead, commonly known as a bindi, can symbolize various meanings.

The practice varies widely across different regions and communities in India.
The green dot worn by some Indian women, often on their forehead, symbolizes a variety of meanings depending on the context. It can represent marital status, similar to the traditional red bindi worn by married women, but in many cases, the green dot is used to signify empowerment, individuality, or a modern approach to self-expression. Additionally, it may also be associated with specific social or cultural movements advocating for women's rights and awareness.
