KumKum is a powder used for social and religious markings in Hinduism.

The kumkum is an auspicious symbol.
When a girl or a married woman visits a house, it is a sign of respect (in case of an elderly lady) or blessings (in case of a young girl) to offer kumkum to them when they leave.
However, it is not offered to widows.
When visiting a Hindu temple, married women from southern India usually dip their ring finger in yellow turmeric powder, and apply a dot on their neck.
Men, women, girls, and boys apply a dot on their forehead of red turmeric powder, also when visiting a temple or during a pooja.
In most of India, everyday, married women apply red kumkum in front of their parting on their forehead as a symbol of marriage.
