8/15    Yet another indian question: what do the different colors of
        dots correspond to?  That is, what colors are there, and what
        does each mean?
        \_ There is only one-true-color (reddish).  It is worn by the Brahmins
           as a sign of rank.
                \- you mean the "bindi" women wear on their forehead? that is
                ornamental but the red sindhur in the part of the hair means
                "married" [hindu]. --psb
