About this product

कुमकुम — kumkum, the red powder for tilak and puja, from Moms Tree in Kamola, Uttarakhand.

Kumkum is applied as a tilak on the forehead during puja and when receiving a blessing, offered to the deities with rice and flowers, and worn by married women in the parting of the hair in many communities. It is also used to draw the swastik and other auspicious marks on doors and puja thalis at festivals.

This listing is the smaller pack; Moms Tree also lists a 250 g one. Keep it in a closed container, dry and away from water, which makes it run and stain.
