Significance of Sindoor for Indian Women

Sindoor is made from sindoor, a red powder applied as a red streak along the parting of a woman's hair. It is also known as Kumkum or Sindoor. It symbolizes marriage and is never performed by unmarried women or widows. It is always placed in the center and represents feminine energy. It is first worn by a woman by her husband on her wedding day and becomes a daily ritual afterward. Women have adopted different ways of applying sindoor – initially, along the parting line or as a red spot on the forehead.

This santarms box is meant for keeping kumkum or sindoor (vermilion) - a red powder that is supposed to be applied as a dot on the forehead of a married woman. In some parts of India, the parting of a Hindu married woman's hair is also decorated with kumkum or sindoor (vermilion).

There are many reasons for application – from announcing your marital status to warding off the evil eye and praying for your husband's long life.

In the olden days, it was made by first applying a thin base of ghee (to ensure that it does not crumble) in the form of a dot with the third finger of the right hand and then kumkum or sindoor (vermilion) powder was applied over it. Even unmarried girls wear dot, so it has lost the importance of 'declaration of marital status.

Today, sindoor is commercially available in small plastic containers, but in the olden days, temples were the source of this auspicious powder.
