Tilak, a small circle that is usually applied to someone’s forehead, is not just a mark but a symbol of pride, protection, and even identity. Applying Tilak to the forehead is not done randomly, or for no reason, it’s a tradition that’s deeply revered and carries a lot of respect in Hindu culture. A Tilak is like a mark of positivity, protection, courage, and new beginnings.
And for many, the Tilak is like a badge of honour, applied to them before they go off to start something new.
But, did you know that all the different types of Tilak should also be applied with different fingers?
