chosen: Hindus wear a tilak, or "spot" or "dot", on their forehead as an indication of identity, adornment, and devotion. It signifies their membership in the religious tradition, and often includes symbolic colors and designs according to specific religious customs. The spot is generally made of paste made of turmeric or sandalwood, mixed with a few drops of water. The woman’s tilak is usually larger and can have a more pronounced design with geometrical shapes or intricate patterns. The mark is considered a part of a Hindu woman’s spiritual expression and can indicate her family or caste lineage. It is also seen as a sign of honor and respect, particularly in public and religious settings.
