NAWAB SINDOOR 80 GR

Description

Nawab Sindoor 80 Gr is loose red sindoor in an 80 gram pack. Sindoor is the vermilion powder worn in the parting of the hair after marriage, and it is also offered on the murti of Durga and of Hanuman.

In a Dutch household one pack tends to cover both jobs, daily wear tipped into a small box on the dressing table and the larger offerings made at Navratri, Karva Chauth and Diwali. Eighty grams is a stock-up size, which is why it works out cheaper per gram than the little travel boxes.

How is this different from roli? Sindoor is worn in the hair parting and offered to Durga and Hanuman. Roli is the tilak powder pressed on the forehead of everyone at a puja. Both are red and loose, so check which one the ritual you are following actually names.

Is it loose powder or a stick? Loose powder in a pack. For daily wear, tip a little into a small sindoor box with a lid and keep the rest closed, because dipping into the full 80 grams every morning gets messy quickly.

Its usual partner on the thali, the Nawab roli used for tilak, is stocked too, and the rest of the range here covers the kumkum, chandan and the rest of the thali. Not for consumption. Keep the pack closed in a cool, dry place away from damp.
