Shagun Pooja Turmeric 40Gm

Description

Shagun Pooja Turmeric 40Gm is turmeric powder in a 40 gram pack, sold for the puja thali rather than the kitchen. It is the yellow powder that sits opposite the kumkum in the two-part box every home mandir keeps.

Turmeric appears at almost every point of a ceremony, dabbed on the kalash, mixed with a drop of water into the paste used for a haldi tilak, and handed out with kumkum as guests leave. At a wedding the same powder is what the haldi function takes its name from.

Can I cook with this? Treat it as a pooja item rather than a kitchen ingredient. The cooking haldi we sell sits in the spices aisle in 100 gram, 400 gram and 1 kilo packs and is priced for cooking quantities. This 40 gram pack is meant for the thali.

What is it used with? The kumkum in the matching Shagun pack. The two are kept in one box, offered together and given out together at the end of a function, which is why the ritual itself is called haldi kumkum.

The red half of the box, the Shagun kumkum that goes with it, is stocked alongside, while the full shelf here carries the roli, sindoor and chandan. Not for consumption. Keep the pack closed in a cool, dry place away from damp.
