When Prince Pondicherry's chocolate palace begins to melt in the hot sun, the first drop lands on his forehead in the position and shape of a bindi, a dot that is worn by both men and women as a symbol of their religion, social cast and marital status. Other names for the dot are tilak, tika, pottue, sindoor, tilakam, and kumkum. The palace is also in the shape of the Taj Mahal, a tomb for the emperor's favorite wife in India that was once covered with camouflage in World War II out of fear of Japanese bombing.
