What is a bindi? [From Back Cover]: Bindis are graceful adornments that have been worn by women throughout Asia since ancient times. They are placed between the eyebrows, marking the location of the Ajna Chakra - the seat of power, control and wisdom. Although bindis were traditionally limited to red circles, modern bindis come in all shapes and colours. They are beautiful symbols reminding us of the importance of using our minds and intellect.
