- Sindoor is a
traditional red or orange-red colored cosmetic powder from the
Indian subcontinent, usually worn by married women along the
parting of their hair.
- In Hindu
tradition, the practice of wearing sindoor by married women is
explained through popular myths.
- According to
scholars, red
is the colour of power and sindoor therefore represents the
female energy of Sati and Parvati.
- The red sindoor
was made at home from turmeric and alum.
- The main
component of traditional sindoor is usually vermilion.
- Modern
sindoor mainly uses vermilion, which is an orange-red pigment.
- sindoor
being red works as a very symbolic element for power, and the
honor which an Indian bride carries of being married.
- The ritual
of applying sindoor is followed in almost all the religions of
India, making it an important part for the conclusion of the
marriage ceremony.
- Sindoor is most
important beauty item for wedded women, devotion and other
purposes.
- Most of the
sindoor available in market are made from synthetic dyes, filler
materials, lime and salts of lead and mercury to provide fast
and brilliant red shades.
