DOT ON FOREHEAD like a moon in red
DOT ON FOREHEAD like a moon in redThis is lady’s property after attaining age
Before marriage or after
They used to have a decorative round
As a symbol a dot like round in red
This is made of turmeric power duly processed
To become red in colour harmless in using
On the forehead as per Hindu mythology
Bride will have by the bridegroom
I feel this is a round mark of the full moon
Having placed as symbol being given in temple
Too after pooja by the bandit to the ladies
Apart from widows
Even males also use this to wear
On forehead as a symbol in red as they
Belongs to Hinduism following the tradition
Since long, long period
She becomes widow after her husband passed away
She cannot have this on her forehead
She wears only white saree leaving apart colours
In her dress and lost her bangles too by customs
She will not take part in any functions at the front
And stay behind only; in short she has lost all the normal
Rights and living in the family, even her son and daughter
May not allow her to wear the dot in red
This is something radicular in customs by Hindu’s
In India can be changed as the remarriage is allowed
After the death husband or wife in life to become
Normal and refinements as others -AYYAN- 070910
