Re: a few questions. =)
Is there a special name or occasion to the tilak in which one smears one's forehead with "sandlewood paste + turmeric"?
I see this mostly among the lingayat community in south india, but is also seen among others.
Of courseSandlewood and turmeric are auspicious items for both shiva and devi and sandlewood for all deities. But seems like this is more of a saiva tilak, yet not tripundra.
