Kumkum has special significance in any of the Puja. Kumkum's red colour symbolises auspiciousness, enthusiasm, euphoria and courage. Applying it on the forehead brings happiness to mind. Kumkum or Roli is the Indian name of "vermilion". It is mixed with water to make a paste which is used to make a mark on either the forehead of the deity or other Sadhana articles (Yantra, Gutika, etc.). It is considered auspicious and represents the tradition of India.
