What it is

Maruthani is the henna plant. Before cones came along, its fresh leaves were ground on the ammi and pressed onto girls' palms for Aadi, Deepavali and weddings. This is the leaf already ground to a powder, so the paste can be mixed in a bowl at home, mehndi as it is called in Hindi.

Mixed and rested, it goes on as a dull green paste and comes off orange, deepening over the next day or two. Some people also use it on hair for colour. Choosing between these powders? Maruthani for hands and hair, kasturi manjal for nalangu before a wedding, chandan for the forehead at pooja.

Tip: Once the paste is dry, dab it with a little lemon juice and sugar. It stays on longer without flaking.

Goes well with: Gopuram Kasturi Manjal Powder Tin, Chandan Powder, Gopuram Kumkum Small Tin
