Today the millennials are seeing it as a fashion more than a culture. And today for various kinds of fashionable attires, this bindi suits well in the forehead of a girl.

As per the Indian tradition, culture, and heritage, wearing a bindi after marriage confers respect to her husband, and towards the marriage that she belongs to.
Just before few days, during a weekend, the very famous American singer Selena Gomez was spotted wearing a huge bindi, during her performance at the MTV Movie Awards. As because it was Selena Gomez, it created a different vibe in the social media. It also represented the Indian culture, but it was more visible as a fashion element to look beautiful.
A bindi in the Indian bride’s forehead, with a red saree, makes her look beautiful and resembles an ideal bride. The Indians also concerns it as an object of recognization. Those elements like sindoor, red dots/bindi, are only worn when a lady is married. Hence people surrounding her can easily understand, that she is married.
