Why to wear Kumkum or red dot on forehead?

Kumkuma will be smeared on the forehead most commonly though some people apply sandal wood paste and Bhasma or Vibhooti. The wavelength of red colour is good for the body as it cleanses all the energy channels of the body. Wearing red kumkum on forehead absorbs positive energy from the light of Sun and empowers three important nerves, Ida, Pingala and Sushumna.

Some people hesitate to wear kumkuma on forehead as it makes them vulnerable to other peoples’ comments. Leave this feeling behind and experience the bliss of wearing a bindi or kumkum on foreheads every day.
