    Bindi

    Namaste
    I am wondering would it be considered odd for a man to wear a bindi? I know that women wear them as a beauty mark and also to indicate marital status. However if a man wears one does he wear it as a round "dot" like women do or differently.

    Thank you

    Aum
    In whatever way people surrender unto me, I reciprocate with them accordingly.

    Namaste Ji,

    Men do not wear sticker Bindi,NEVER!
    But of course you can wear the Bindu with Kunkuma in the shape of a dot as said in the scriptures.

    Kunkuma is the red colored powder.



    After wearing the Tripundra(Three horizontal lines) with Vibhuti/Bhasma(sacred ash) there are two ways of wearing the Bindu .

    STYLE I:Bindu at the center of the Tripundra





    STYLE II:Bindu at the base of the Tripundra
