Kumkum is applied to the forehead.The reason for this particular location has to do with the ancient Hindu belief that”the human body is divided into seven vortices of energy,called chakras,beginning at the base of the spine and ending at the top of the head.The sixth chakra, also known as the third eye,is centered in the forehead directly between the eyebrows and is believed to be the channel through which humankind opens spiritually to the Divine”.Thus,the kumkum is placed at the location of the body which is the most holy.

Kumkum is either made from turmeric or saffron.The turmeric is dried and powdered with a bit of slaked lime,which turns the rich yellow powder into a red color.
