Red Mark on Forehead
I'd like to post what I hope is not an insensitive question: can someone
tell me what the red dots on some women's foreheads mean? I've been told
alternately that they have to do with devotion to Shiva, and that they are
a caste mark. Are one or both of these true? Are there some additoinal
cultural things that don't "offically" go with the mark but everyone
understands? Hope I'm not being offensive, but my 5 year old daughter
asked me and I don't want to guess.
