😳Tell Me Why❓❓❓

Applying Tilak/KumKum On The Forehead

Kumkuma is most often applied by Indians to the forehead. The reason has to do with the ancient Indian belief that “the human body is divided into seven vortices of energy, called chakras, beginning at the base of the spine and ending at the top of the head.

Kumkum prepared by using turmeric and natural camphor. The Tilak is believed to prevent the loss of “energy”, the red ‘kumkum’ between the eyebrows is said to retain energy in the human body and control the various levels of concentration. While applying Kumkum the points on the mid-brow region and Adnya-chakra are automatically pressed. This also facilitates the blood supply to the face muscles.
