Hindu Blues brings into view the loss of spiritual control in an absurd way. In the Hindu faith the tilaka – a red dot on the forehead – symbolizes the third eye associated with multiple gods and the idea of meditation and spiritual enlightenment. In the past only gods, priests, ascetics and worshippers wear a tilaka. Now it is an ordinary practice for Hindus and is regarded as a beauty mark. In the video a naughty goddess plays with the tilaka of a woman who does everything she can to set her tilaka back in the right place.
