Do you know bindi ???

Hi eshaan, I say yeah here just to answer the question of your discussion above One of my myLot friends from your country share with me lots of knowledge and info about the bindi. I'm used to see the Indian ladies here, some are my friends wearing bindi on their forehead. I always have great interest when seeing people especially the women wearing their traditional costumes. I have the impulse to put on the traditional clothes while visiting different counties. But I give up finally due to my laziness and I feel reluctant to take the trouble to put them on. I put on the Japanese traditional casual wear in the hotel during my vacation in Japan The clothes were available in the hotel room wardrobe. It's simple and easy to put on. I felt really relaxed to wear and had meal in the dinning room but all of us looked rather weird when seeing one another in the unfamiliar clothes Take care and happy posting!

Hi, eshaan. I have always been fascinated as to why an Indian woman has a dot on her forehead. It looks very mysterious and attractive. I have researched it ans it says it is for beauty. I do wonder about this. In our country, we dress in regular stylish clothing. I don't know too much about other countries and their styles of dressing, but I do know that their clothing is very beautiful and alluring.

I like the look of the bindi on the forehead. Reading your responses I’ve learnt that is signifies that the woman is married which is interesting because up until now I presumed it had something to do with one of the chakras...Goes to show I was way off the mark! (LOL) Anyway I think they look really nice...

Now that you mention it, what IS the significance of the dot on the forehead of a marrried Indian woman? I have never thought to ask that question but I am curious to know.

Although I have some Indian blood in me, I still don't like bindi...but I like them only when Indian women are dancing...I think Indian women without hindi is more beautiful

I think its great for persons of different cultures to express themselves in honor of the traditions of their countries. I'm very accepting of people who're different. My specific opinion on whether or not each traditional thing is necessary to do or not matters little. What matters is that each person has the freedom to do and dress as they wish. I've never thought to dress like any other countries residents, simply because I've not grown up with the traditions that are behind the apparel they wear. I'd feel odd, not truly believing what they do, yet trying to make myself a part of it. In America, we don't have special customs like that. It's kind of a huge melting pot of hundreds of different cultures. Each person does what they want to individually, but we don't have certain traditional things as a whole country.
