At LabhGanga, we take pride in making pure, natural products. Kumkum was one of the first products we started making. It was born out of need, since we couldn’t find any unadulterated, pure Kumkum in the market.

Traditionally, Kumkum is made from Haldi. We start with pure Haldi, add slate (commonly called Slate and scientifically called Calcium Carbonate), which is a naturally occurring substance. The turmeric goes through few steps of washing, heating and cooling before the golden yellow changes to red. And that’s our Kumkum.

The LabhGanga Kumkum will never leaves stains on your forehead, and there won’t be any allergies, pimples of hair fall. Smell the Kumkum and tell us if you cannot smell turmeric!

Kumkum is a red powder that is traditionally used in India for worship and personal adornment. Considered a symbol of auspiciousness and good fortune, this vibrant vermilion powder forms a vital part of social and religious occasions in India. Used to sanctify and decorate idols, statues and photos of deities and spiritual masters, kumkum is a must-have in every Indian puja. Offering kumkum during puja or worship/prayer rituals is a way to express gratitude and reverence. Kumkum is also applied by women along the part of their hair to indicate that they are married.

The most common way to use kumkum is to apply it in the middle of the forehead, corresponding to the sixth chakra present in the human body. Chakras are vortices of energy that are formed at the confluence of subtle energy channels that flow through the human body. The sixth chakra, called the Ajna chakra, is also referred to as the third eye and is associated with inner wisdom and intuition. Applying it to the forehead before performing any spiritual practice is a physical reminder to honor the divinity within us. It is best to moisten the spot on the forehead with fragrant meditation oils before applying kumkum.

We offer pure, kumkum powder that is made from the seeds of the flowers of the Bixa Plant. Our range of natural kumkum for puja is laboratory tested and approved to ensure that it is free from harmful chemicals, dyes or any heavy metals. Being gentle on the skin and odor-free, you can safely use our Kumkum without worrying about it leaving a stain on the skin.
