Charles! very interesting to see these in color, though the black and whites seem more timeless to me. What is the meaning of the symbology on the foreheads?

Thanks, Douglas. I believe the "tilak" they are wearing symbolizes their spiritual lineage, but also, it is meant to symbolize the opening of the "Third Eye", which represents their spiritual vision. Actually, comparing these images with black and white, I think you have a good point.
