    I dressed up in a Punjabi suit as Queen Esther for Purim. I wore a matching blue bindhi. Someone came up to me and said that wearing the bindhi was an avoda zoreh. Please tell me if this is so, and I will toss them all out. I thought it was just like wearing make up. When i googled it, they said that they adorn the dots to remind them of prayers (to their gods). My intent was not that. So I am asking for a shilah.
