Tilaka

Our Bollywood dance class meet for a holiday luncheon. We were each welcomed with a mark or tilaka. The tilaka symbolize the third eye, or mind's eye, that is associated with many hindu gods and the idea of meditation and spiritual enlightenment. The tilak is a mark created by the smearing of powder or paste on the forehead. For married women it is placed high on the forehead, where the hair line meets.





Following the welcoming ceremony we saw dancing and had a fabulous buffet at Mrs. Balbir's.
