Talk:Srivaishnava Urdhva Pundra

Meaning of Symbol

If the symbol means the feet of Vishnu then why is it drawn on statues of Vishnu? I mean it makes sense for the devotees to wear it on their foreheads but why is it drawn on the Lord himself? Nittawinoda (talk) 16:33, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Urdhva Pundra

I propose this article be merged with Urdhva Pundra, which covers the scope of the present article. There is no justification for the tilaka of the Sri Vaishnava tradition in particular to have its own article. Please support or oppose this with your response for this discussion to move forward. Thank you. Chronikhiles ^(talk) 08:08, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I oppose this suggestion. Vaishnava tradition is diverse; and someone interested in shrIvaiShNava Urdhva-puNDra shouldn't have to work his way through other Urdhva-puNDra information. Just as India includes Karnataka within its scope; and yet there are two pages for them; so should the case be here.
