Tripund TilakDrawing three long horizontal lines across the forehead is known as the Tripund Tilak. It symbolizes the three gunas: Sattva (purity), Rajas (passion), and Tamas (inertia/darkness).A red circular mark, representing Shakti (divine power), is often created right in the center of these lines. Applying this tilak is believed to bring mental peace and increase concentration. However, it is suggested that common individuals should apply only the three lines, rather than the red center mark.
