There are many reasons attributed to why a woman should wear a tike on her forehead. Some say its place between the eyes is a spiritual center, the color of which is red. To awaken it and nourish it, a woman wears the red dot on her forehead. Tantrics say that it is the spot by concentrating on which a person can be easily hypnotized. So a woman wears it as a security against Tantrics. Extending the argument further is the feeling that when there is a tika or bindi on the forehead, the intensity with which anybody can gaze into the woman's eye is reduced. The tika distracts the attention and so it is believed that women will not be hoodwinked by any man.
