Sindoor Remedy: Sixteen adornments of women have been mentioned in Hindu religion. Sindoor is also one of these 16 cosmetics. Married women must apply vermillion. In Sanatan Dharma, marriage is solemnized only when the groom applies vermillion on the bride's forehead. Sindoor also has special importance from spiritual point of view.
In a recent case, the court also accepted that it is the religious duty of the wife to apply vermillion after marriage. In this case, the court also said that vermillion is a sign of a woman's marriage and if a woman does not apply vermillion after marriage, then it is tantamount to cruelty.
Spiritual importance of applying vermillion
Sindoor has been important since the Ramayana period. According to one incident, Mother Sita used to use vermillion while doing makeup. Seeing him, Hanumanji asked him why he was applying vermillion. Then she said that applying vermilion increases the life of the husband. Then Hanumanji applied vermillion on his entire body to please Shri Ram and increase his life. Since then the tradition of offering vermillion to Hanumanji also started.
Do this before applying vermillion
According to religious belief, Mother Parvati used to apply vermillion to Lord Shiva. Therefore, vermillion is also offered to Mother Parvati. It is believed that before applying vermillion, it should be offered to Goddess Gauri. Applying vermillion to Maa Gauri brings blessings of unbroken good fortune.
