Kumkum Powder is used for social and religions markings in Hinduism. Kumkum Powder is either made from turmeric or saffron. The turmeric is dried and powdered with a bit of slaked lime, which turns the yellow powder into a red colour. Kumkum Powder is most often applied by Hindus on the forehead. People dip their thumb into the heap and apply Kumkum Powder on the forehead or between the eyebrows. Packing : 500G & 100G
