“Ek chutki Sindoor ki keemat tum kya jaano Ramesh Babu”
The stunning dialogue from Om Shanti Om made us put our hands together for the terrific portrayal of the significance of Sindoor for an Indian woman, in whatever context it may be.It truly is the pride of women in India to be able to flaunt their sindoor-adorned forehead, and it also serves as an epitome of the long and prosperous life of the husband.
- Sindoor is one of the first tokens of love given to her by her husband and it remains so throughout their life.
- It shows the intense bonding between the husband and wife as they lead their life together through happiness and sorrow.
- In rural areas, Sindoor is considered to be directly related to the husband’s life and hence it is treated very piously.
- Women make a point to never forget applying sindoor in their hair because they are taught to respect the tradition and culture.
- It is a way of showing other men that the woman is married and hence out of bounds for anyone else.
- It has been scientifically proven that sindoor induces sexual desires and hence gives the couple a long-lasting and successful marital union.
