My Latest Love - The Bindi :)

Bindi - a tiny dot placed in the center of our forehead.  It is common to see women wear a bindi in India.


I used to be a person who never liked wearing a bindi. Recently though, I have developed a lot of love for the Bindi, and when I tried wearing one, I felt it suited me :)

I belong to the Konkani GSB community and according to our tradition we are supposed to wear the bindi.  But these days it depends on each one's personal choice.

I did some online research on bindis and found the reason they were made part of our tradition. It seems that a bindi is traditionally placed on the Third Eye (Ajna) chakra and it is supposed to protect the person from negative energies and other evil. I am not sure about the scientific side of this theory but this is something I read.

I feel that wearing the right bindi with the appropriate outfit can greatly enhance one's look. It can make us look traditional, beautiful, elegant and trendy all at the same time.  I specially love the large round bindis which are available in many colors. Bindis look wonderful with a sari (simple or ethnic), with kurtas and salwars, with ghagra cholis, and other Indian attire. It makes our look complete.

As for me, I am going to make the bindi a part of my look whenever i can from now on !!
