Bindi: The Great Indian Forehead Art. A woman's beauty is multiplied 1,000 times when she wears a bindi. Multicolour Bindi has been the most visually attractive of all forms of body decoration. In fact, Round bindi is the first shringar and has a strong religious implication. Hindus attach great importance to this ornamental mark on the forehead between the two eyebrows -- a spot considered a major chakra point in the human body since ancient times. Also loosely known as tika ,pottu ,sindoors ,tilak ,tilakam , and kumkum , a bindi is usually a small or a big eye-catching round mark made on the forehead as adornment.
