Detailed Product Description

The bindi is undoubtedly the most visually fascinating of all forms of body decoration. Indians attach great importance to this ornamental mark on the forehead between the two eyebrows -- a spot considered a major acupressure point in human body since ancient times. Also known as 'tika','pottu', 'sindoor', 'tilak', 'tilakam', and 'kumkum', a traditional bindi is usually a small or a big eye-catching round mark made on the forehead as adornment.

Nowadays, bindis are worn throughout the world by women and girls, and no longer signify age, marital status, religious background or ethnic affiliation. The bindi has now become an ornament, and is no longer restricted in color or shape. Self-adhesive bindis (also known as sticker bindis) are available, usually made of felt or thin metal, with adhesive on the back side. These are easy to apply, disposable substitutes for the traditional tilak bindis. Sticker bindis come in many colors, designs, materials, and sizes. Fancier sticker bindis are decorated with sequins, glass beads, or rhinestones.

Outside South Asia, bindis are often worn by women ofIndian origin. Western women who have converted to Hinduism, such as in the Hare Krishna Mission, also wear bindis, to display their rich culture. Sometimes,body dots are also are worn as a style statement. International celebrities such as Gwen Stefani, Shakira, Madonna, Nina Hagen, Nelly Furtado, and Shania Twain have also been spotted wearing bindis.
