[yoYo-ma]

Well, I believe males where the red dot for religious reasons. There is a sect of Hinduism called Swaminarayan. Individuals of this sect typically adhere to hindu traditions and rituals more diligently than the average hindu. Part of the daily ritual is to apply the tilak on one's forhead. The tilak is a mark of auspiciousness. The Tilak indicates the point at which the spiritual eye opens. Of course there is much more info on the web which will go into greater detail. But that's the jist of it.
