Why a Hindu  should put a cosmetic mark or

 Kumkuma on the forehead ?

The Human Body consists of many organs. For each organ

it has its  own Deity.

The Lalatah (the forehead) is the  place for

Lord Brahma Deva. Means the Lalatah is the sacred place

 for Brahmadeva.. 

The colour for Brahma Deva is red.  

Hence the Brahma Sthana of Lalatah (forehead) should be

adorned with the mark of cosmetic which is Kumkuma. 

The forehead should  not be exposed to the Sun Rays. 

The Jeeva which is also called Prana resides in the

Human body at the place of Bhru Madhya (flown) and  in the

 form of Jyothih that too in tbe Agna Chakra. And also

it resides in the Tranquility state in the place

 of Heart in Anahata Chakra.

If the Kumkuma mark is adorned in the forehead with

 the ring finger, one attains the divine peace. 

If the middle finger  is usedone can have the longvity.

If the thumb is used one canget the energy. 

If the point finger is used we can get

the devotion and  emancipation.

The Kumkuma is always better than the plastic blotch. 

The kumkuma is good for insecticidal (Krimisamharakam).

So every one must wear the well-being Kumkuma

on their foreheads. 

When the Kumkuma is blotted on theforehead, then 

it says we are worshipping the Jnaja Chakram.
