Marriages/Havan/Bhai Dooj/Tika /Sindoor /Dev POOJA Kumkum is
applied to the forehead.The reason for this particular location
has to do with the ancient Hindu belief that"the human body is
divided into seven vortices of energy,called chakras,beginning at
the base of the spine and ending at the top of the head.The sixth
chakra, also known as the third eye,is centered in the forehead
directly between the eyebrows and is believed to be the channel
through which humankind opens spiritually to the Divine".Thus,the
kumkum is placed at the location of the body which is the most
holy.
