Sindoor is is traditionally applied at the beginning or completely along the center parting-line of a woman’s head or as a dot on the forehead. Sindoor is the mark of a married woman in Hinduism.
The sindoor is first applied to the woman by her husband on the day of her wedding.
Fun fact about sindoor: In hindi movies, when a man applies the sindoor on the girl's head she becomes his wife.
Sindoor is normally Vermilion in color.
Like every girl I had a dream of getting married someday
Like every girl I loved the moment when the groom put the vermilion kumkum on the bride's head, while the holy music play
Then came that moment, when I had tears in my eyes, when you put that vermilion on my forehead
Promising love, in that moment, all unsaid
One of the few moments that I will cherish all my life
It is the day, when I became your wife
