Many bigots choose to make a mockery of the Hindus religious beliefs and cultures and as a result make derogatory remarks about the decorative dot on their forehead. Asking if someone is born with the red dot on their forehead, knowing that the dot is not a part of their anatomy is as ignoramus as asking if someone is born with clothes.
why do they wear red dresses in India
If you are asking about the red dot that the Tamil ladies have in their foreheads, it is called a Pottu
No
Its the THILAKA or BINDI. it improves concentration. Awakens inner strengths.
It is usually applied with either ash or henna, though there are other ways of doing it.
Women in India wear a red dot to represent a third eye which stands for knowledge, because of the goddess Shiva know as the destroyer.
You can't always tell a South Asian Muslim from a Hindu as culturally they are very similiar. Muslims come in every race, shape and form. The vast majority of Hindus are of the Indian subcontinent
The reticule
Yes. but it is not a permanent dot and it is not always red.
Only married women where it but it is not necessary that all Indian women have to wear it also they wear a red line on the head to show they are married but yet again it is not necessary.
