==In Hinduism== {{main|Ajna}} In Hinduism, the third eye refers to the [[ajna]] (or brow) [[chakra]], said to be located around the middle of the forehead, slightly above the junction of the eyebrows.{{sfnp|Saraswati|2001|p={{pn|date=December 2022}}}} Hindus place a "[[tilaka]]" between the eyebrows as a representation of the third eye, which is also seen on expressions of [[Shiva]]. He is referred to as "Tryambaka Deva", or the three-eyed lord, where his third eye symbolizes the power of knowledge, and the detection of evil. His eye is depicted by three horizontal lines in the middle of his forehead.{{sfnp|Dhillon|Singh|Dua|2009}}
