Ah, I see and you did make the distinction, but here too, I can't say that what I have seen it applied, or if I did, I did not realize the what it was or the purpose.
We are forever learning.

It is usually applied on the forehead and some other parts of the body. It has religious importance, you will find the priests or Brahmins with this paste applied. The sandalwood paste has a cooling effect, so when a person is praying or meditating or chanting mantras there is some about of energy that body generates, and so that the body does not overheat, people smear this paste. The style of the mark and the type of paste applied varies depending on the community one belongs to.
It makes me feel even more pale and sickly than I already am to see a place with sunlight.

Wow, Claes, your pictures are so cool that I can hardly believe they're real. That's your wife, right? She's beautiful, she looks sooo Swedish.
Magnificent Claes!

Thanks for sharing Revolte.
My favorite is the pic of your dog in a sea of grass, I bet he/she enjoys wandering through it.
I recently had numerous slide photos, taken in 1988, converted to digital. Most of the photos are architectural in nature which I plan to share piece meal on Emil's architecture thread, for other subjects, I thought I would share a few here:
The "Rickmer Rickmers" in Hamburg Germany at the port on the Elbe river- 1988:
The devil in the form of a lion devouring a drunk, at the front of St. Peter cathedral in Bremen Germany - 1988
Note the can of beer in his hand
From the Bible; 2 Peter Chapter 5 Part 8 "Be sober and vigilant. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."
The devil nabs a schoolboy. Carving on a water well at St. Lorenz church in Nuremberg Germany - 1988:
A bridge over canal in Hamburg Germany 1988:
