As far what I have seen in my family
Devi patan ( shaktipeeth) pujari does
Women aren't allowed to do tilak
Sindoor is spread on maa feet and then one has to bow on whomsoever forehead sindoor sticks that one only does ravan dehan
PS the foolish dramatic tradition is started by Bollywood and TV industry and sadistically everyone watches withoudlt uttering wats right or wrong
If you ask shaktipeeth pujaris they call women doing tilak a destruction one has to bow to Hod or Goddess for tilak
Tilak is God wish not human ( neither men nor women )
Ps no offence I wrote what I have been taught and watched since childhood
