It has two vertical lines (sometimes with another intermediate line) variously connected at the bottom, from simple U shape to a form of Tulasi leaf. Shaivites wear it as three horizontal lines (tripundra) and Shaktas as one vertical line or dot. It has a distinguishing, protective and decorative function. The Vasudeva Upanishad gives more detailed information." Also, sometimes 3 dots, one above the other. s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
