I would like to know the meaning behind the various signs or marks
Hindus sometimes paint on their faces. Do they wear them all the time or
only for holy reasons or special reasons? Do different castes have
different marks? I am doing a paper on Hindu art but so far can't find
this covered. Any help appreciated.
