Q. What do the dots (3 or 4 in a triangle or diamond pattern) on the chin of a Hindu or Muslim woman (I am not sure which she was) mean? I think they were tattooed on not just make-up.
I tried doing a Google search, but all the answers came up related to bindis on the forehead or Maori chin tattoos but not dots on the chin of South-Asian women.

A. I do NOT know about MUSLIMS.Only Muslims can Answer.
In Hindus --in small babies chins--NOT of a Woman--a "Black" dot using caramalised rice powder,used to be put. That is called "Dhrishti" in Sanskrit and "Nazar" in Hindi.
It is just a "Belief"--many people, when they see a small baby might feel that the baby is "Cute"--beautiful/handsome--smart etc. This "Sight" (Dhrishti) might affect the child's health etc.Just to "Ward-off" any Negative Effects they put this "Black" dot,which they "believe" will work.
