    There are two reasons: one is religious and the other tradition. the religious reason being that the tilak signifies the man belongs to a particular hindu religion sect (i.e. this person follows the swaminarayan faith). the traditional reason relates to caste systems. In the olden days when the men from the warrior caste left the home, the woman of the house usually put the tilak on her husband's forhead for good luck and safe keeping.
