A “Kumkum Chimil” (also often spelled “Kumkum Chimizh” or “Kumkum Simil”) is a small, traditional container specifically designed to hold kumkum (vermilion) and often haldi (turmeric) powder.
- Storing Kumkum: This is its main purpose. It keeps the kumkum powder protected from moisture and spills, making it convenient to use.
- Facilitating Application: The chimil often comes with a small, narrow opening or a design that allows for easy and precise application of kumkum on the forehead (as a bindi or tilak), on idols during worship, or as a mark of blessing.
