The colour red and matrimony go together, denoting auspicious circumstances, prosperity, and fertility. A woman crossing over the threshold into her new home becomes its ‘new guardian’ of sorts. This is also why a widow replaces a red Bindi with a black dot, indicating her dissociation from marriage.
The sacred meaning of Bindis has since become diluted. Today, we find all sorts of shapes and designs for this amazing ancient symbol, and women/girls wearing them as beauty accessories. There is no harm in doing so. The true meaning and worth of a Bindi is respected and remembered in modern Indian society to date.
