umm...brahmins used to wear it as a religious symbol tho...and still do...i think....but the traders dont so u are kinda right....but the artists are not wrong either....
i dont kow the region you live in but in the middle states of India u will find everybody wears it during poojas and all....and old people still wear it everyday....this manga is in like kinda old timeline...so...u will even see in historical shows that everybody wore it....its kinda obvious so its easy for artists to define that they are from this region...like kimono for Japanese or Korean reagion if i am not wrong idk...lol. ╮(￣▽￣)╭...its part of our culture....sorry for the long reply...(=・ω・=)
except Muslims....they were less in old times in the region...no hate...since they dont wear bindi...
seriously does it matter??
┑(￣Д ￣)┍
*sign* i thought on this post more than my exam paper...(⊙…⊙ ) ......lol(〜￣△￣)〜
I think you are confused between tikka/thilak and bhindi...
The one worn during pooja or other religious ceremonies is tikka/thilak it's usually red, yellow or grey colour...
Whereas bhindi is usually more colourful and comes in different shapes, colours and size...
Men used to wear and still wear tikka for religious ceremonies...
And I am technically south Indian but have lived my whole life in gujarat and other northern n Western states...
So saying all this from daily life experience
ooooooooooooooooooooo..........the circle sticker thing one u mean....lol...right..??
o...you are right.....i never noticed....now that i noticed it feels kinda weird....but i think it looks like the small tap with the kumkum you do when you are in a hurry...?...ok i cant unsee it anymore....Σ( ￣□￣||)
It looked like the circle sticker one... It always is that one when artists shown Indian characters
Why do artist always show indian men wearing bhindi....
No Indian men don't wear bhindi ever. Bhindi is mostly worn by hindu women, not men or women of other religions...
But that doesn't mean it's a religious symbol, nowadays bhindi is used as fashion accessories to wear with traditional attire...
I'm sick of seeing artists way of showing Indian people..
Sorry for the long rant....
