Sindoor, also spelled as Sindooram, is a traditional vermilion red or orange-red cosmetic powder worn by married Hindu women along the parting of their hair. It holds immense cultural and religious significance in Hinduism, symbolizing marital status and auspiciousness. Typically made from powdered turmeric, lime, and other natural ingredients, it is applied as a dot or line on the forehead, representing a woman's married status and devotion to her husband. Sindoor is considered sacred and is an integral part of various Hindu rituals and ceremonies, signifying the power and longevity of a woman's husband.
