Kumkuma is a powder used for social and religious
markings in India. It is made from turmeric or any other local materials. The turmeric
is dried and powdered with a bit of slaked
lime, which turns the rich yellow powder into a red color.
Kumkuma is most often
applied by Indians to the forehead. The reason involves the ancient Indian
belief that "the human body is divided into seven vortices of energy,
called chakras, beginning at the base of the spine and ending at
the top of the head. The sixth
chakra, also known as the third
eye, is centered in the forehead directly between the eyebrows
and is believed to be the channel through which humankind opens spiritually to
the Divine"
Kumkuma is also
widely used for worshiping the Hindu goddesses, especially Shakti and Lakshmi, and kumkuma powder is thrown (along with other
mixtures) into the air during Holi (the Festival of Colours), a popular Hindu
spring festival.
