The word "bindi" is derived from the sanskrit word "bindu", which means a dot or a point. 

Traditionally, in some parts of India the bindi is a sign of marriage. In the religious arena the bindi is worn by both men and women and has retained its spiritual significance. Some men would wear a bindi-mark on their forehead, especially for traditional ceremonies.

Today, the bindi is also used for purely decorative purposes, whether it is at a wedding, festive occasions or for everyday use. Women of other religions wear bindis as well.

Now considered as one of the trendiest fashion accessories, it is no longer restricted in colour or shape. Bindis are worn on any part of the body, from the forehead, facial areas, and now on arms, shoulders or around navel.

Ladies and girls wear bindis to match their outfit, emphasise their attractiveness, or just to make a fashion statement. There are bindis of various sizes, colours, designs, materials and qualities. They can come in simple plain colours, or with beads and glittering stones.

High-quality bindis are all self-adhesive and reusable. In some cases "bindi glue" can be applied for repeated use.

Even those who use the bindi purely for decorative purposes, notice its power of creating awareness.
