Kumkum is widely used for worshiping the Hindu goddesses, especially Shakti and Lakshmi, and a kumkumapowder is thrown (along with other mixtures) into the air during Holi (the Festival of Colours), a popular Hindu spring festival.
- Kumkum is a sign of respect or blessings: When a girl or a married woman visits a house, it is a sign of respect (in the case of an elderly lady) or blessings (in the case of a young girl) to offer kumkuma to them when they leave.
