Traditionally, the red bindi (or sindhur) was worn only by the married Hindu women, but now it has become a part of women's fashion. Traditionally, the red dot is made up of bovine blood and dirt (earth), however, even this has changed in that many women wear a jewel (authentic gemstone or otherwise).
