What's in a Name? Vermilion, powdered red lead, is applied as a dot on the forehead, like the regular 'bindi', or in the parting of the hair by all suhagans. It is worn by married women, as a visible expression of their desire for their husbands' longevity.
Red is the colour of power. Vermilion is thus a symbol of the female energy of Parvati and Sati. Sati is believed to be the ideal wife, one who gave her life for her husbands' honour. Every Hindu wife is supposed to emulate her. It is believed that Parvati protects all those men whose wives apply vermilion to their hair parting.
