Kumkum Container

Kumkum, which is made from dried and powdered turmeric and then treated with slaked lime, is blood red in colour and is the most auspicious symbol in Indian religion and culture. A pinch of Kumkum placed on the forehead enhances the natural beauty of an Indian woman. Married women place the Kumkum on their hair parting as a sign of being married.

Owning and gifting Kumkum containers is considered part and parcel in the Hindu culture. Offering kumkum to ladies and elderly women is a sign of deference and respect.

Kumkum is an integral aspect of religious rituals and rites. All Hindu Goddesses are worshipped with flowers, incense and kumkum.

This particular product features a cleverly crafted Kumkum container embedded with beautiful shells. It can be used in two ways - as a decorative item as well as to extend kumkum to women who come to visit on an auspicious occasion.
