What it is

Gopuram was started in Chennai in 1945 by Sri Y. V. Seshachalam, and is best known for its kumkum, alongside turmeric, vibuthi, sandal and sambrani. This is the small tin: the kind that lives on the pooja shelf, in the handbag and in the thamboolam tray.

The red is deep, and a pinch is enough for the forehead, the deity and the doorway. At Navaratri and Varalakshmi Vratham it goes to every guest with manjal and vethalai pakku. Choosing between Gopuram tins? Kumkum for the red dot and offerings; the turmeric tin for manjal; kasturi manjal for the face paste.

Tip: Keep a second small tin in the thamboolam kit, so the pooja shelf one is never missing on the day.

Goes well with: Gopuram Turmeric Tin, Nizzam Pakku (5 pcs), Chandan Powder
