The Sindoor, India
When discussing the Hindu religion, customs and rituals could be described as being one of the faith’s founding aspects. Marriage for example is openly displayed by using vermillion powder for the Sindoor line, which runs along a woman’s scalp to show her devotion and desire for a long life with her husband.
The rich red color of the Sindoor is believed to represent strength and love and is worn by Hindu women of all classes and countries.
