It depends on the part of India you are referring to. In certain regions it means the woman is married, in others it is simply a body decoration. It is in between the eyebrows because this area is a major nerve center in the human body. It is also the sixth chakra, the third-eye chakra. It is the seat of wisdom and is related to clear insight. Also because i said so (:
