What does the Bindi signify?
Bindi is a colorful dot that is placed on the forehead of both men and women in Hindu Dharma.  The origin of the bindi starts way back in the ancient times but it has lost this significance in the modern times and is mostly worn all over the world as an accessory. Bindis have a special significance even today in the
Indian tradition
. There a different colors worn for different occasions and stages in life. A married women always wears a Red colored Bindi as this shows true love and prosperity.

What does the bindi signify in a married woman?

bindi
in Southern India. Their black
bindi

What is the use of the bindi in a spiritual way?
In a Spiritual view,
bindi
plays the most important role in hindu
culture
. Every morning a hindu takes a bath and sits in prayer just to seek for the absolute truth through every prayer. However, it is true that one cannot sit in prayer the whole day. So when you leave the prayer room, you are expected to put some mark on your forehead, which will remind you during the day about all the activities and the purpose of life. It is obvious you cannot see the mark on your own forehead everytime so whenever you see it on another face, you will get a chance to recall the purpose of your life. The idea is to remember that all the things you are doing are dedicated towards the achievement of this supreme goal of self
realization

4. The Sudra (service class) wore black tilak to signify service to the other classes.
What is the use of wearing bindi from the health point ?
From a
health
point of view, the
Bindi
is worn between the eyebrows where the pineal gland lies. This is an important nerve center and applying sandalwood or ash keeps the nerves cool and so keeps you cool and conserves energy. In the past the
Bindi

turmeric
, saffron, various flowers, ash,
zinc
oxide. All these had cooling properties in nature. Today people wear

On a spiritual level what does the position of the Bindi signify?
