Guest guest Posted October 16, 1995 Report Share Posted October 16, 1995 When I read Manjula's article on alt.hindu, I was impressed how well-researched it was. Now we also know Manjula wears bottu to school/work everyday. It is an inspiration to us as parents, when we are trying to send our daughter, a second grader to the haloween party in indian dress and bottu. Also wanted to add that in West Bengal, the Hindu women wear sindoor in the partition (of the hair) onthe head and may or may not wear bottu on the forehead; the bengali vaisnava women wear the vaisnanva tilaka on the forehead. oh, in my informal survey of who in this group puts thirumaan to school/work everyday, i got replies from two people that are putting the forehead vaisnava marks to school/work everyday in these united states of A!!! -Eswar Josyula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
