    a bindi? in india, traditionally married women wore bindis, but now it doesn't really matter, anyone can wear them. but the red dot, still usually means the woman is married. other designs with jewels and different shapes and colors are, from what i've noticed, more fashion. it basically marks your third eye, and the wearer could be any form of hinduism, or just some stylish american :).

    Since it's principally worn by married women, I now understand why it's red.
