Tamil family in front of their home. Small children often have a black dot placed on their forhead or cheek (sometimes on both) to protect them from evil spirits. The dot worn on the forehead of an adult is a religious symbol. It represents divine sight and shows that one is a Hindu. For women, it is also a beauty mark.
