The point between two eyebrows represents the third eye or the spiritual awakening. So Hindus apply sandal or kumkum at that point to signify the growth of wisdom or spiritual knowledge.

In Hindu tradition, the mother puts kumkum on the groom's forehead as a symbol of blessing and to signify his role as the head of the household. Kumkum is believed to have protective and auspicious properties, and applying it to the groom is a way to invoke good fortune for his new journey in marriage.
