Vermillion (or kumkum, as it is known in India) has a very great role to play in Indian Hindu tradition. This red powder is considered to be very auspicious for all occasions. While placed on the forehead or the parting of the hair in a woman, is taken as a symbol of marriage.
Receiving or giving vermillion is reckoned as being good omens and constitutes a major part of everyday life for Hindus all over the world. Especially in South India, most Hindu women gift little ornate containers filled with this powder at functions and major festivals. This is universally regarded a sign of respect among Hindus.
Featured here is a beautifully crafted vermillion container, made out of shell. Its intricate work and excellent finish make it fit as both a showpiece and a gift item. Place it in your showcase and it becomes a remarkable piece of art. Gift it and win the appreciation of one and all who receive it!
