Kum kum powder

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

I have it, what do I do with it? What do you mix it with? If you use it to mark

the third eye,

how is that accomplished in a way that doesn't look like a kitchen accident?

 

Information appreciated. Thank you.

 

Blessings,

Hi,

 

I have seen this done in a few different ways...... At Kalighat in Kolkata

they actually use an orange Sindhur in the temple. There it was mixed with some

sort of coconut oil and seemed more like paint. It actually lasted on my head

for 2 days!

 

Usually I have seen people at temples to Ma just use the powder as is and

draw a streak on the head. It can also be mixed with a small amount of water and

will be more paste like and perhaps easy to manage that way.

 

It always tends to be messy and you have to wash it off your hands otherwise

their with be little red marks around everything you touch!

Purchased red powder at Indian store but was warned that if injested wld cause you not to be able to speak. This was only labled as Red Powder. As sold for puja. Is Sindu, Kum kum & red powder the same?

 

What is it made of?
