पिठ्या — pithya, the red tika powder of Kumaon, from Moms Tree, whose listing records it as coming from Nainital, at about 1,400 metres.
In Kumaoni homes pithya is applied to the forehead with a few grains of rice, akshat, as a blessing at festivals, weddings, naming ceremonies and Bhai Dooj. It is also offered at the household shrine during puja.
The listing does not give the pack weight; check the label. Keep pithya in a closed container in a dry place, since moisture makes it clump.
