Indus River Valley Question

Most people who live in India today are Hindu.  Hindus believe in multiple gods.  Many of the Hindu gods are pictured with a symbol in the shape of a W on their forehead.  What does this symbol mean?  You must post the answer with the link to the website from which you found it.
