The red dot in the middle of the forehead or between the eyes is a visible sign of Hindu influence. It is called bindi in the Hindi language, bindu in Sanskrit. However, in the largest language of the Dravidian south, Tamil, it is called pottu. The dot is a religious symbol and is meant to signify the world beyond the physical. It implies spiritual wisdom that goes beyond the world around us and encourages the individual to understand the forces beyond the immediate environment.
