Namaste friends

So the I bought some turmeric powder from a local grocery store and I'm just curious about one thing...By being a devotee of both Devi and Shiva how do I turn the turmeric powder red? My grocery store didn't supply red turmeric...Or does it HAVE to be red? :/

Hari Om!

This may be helpful, although I just suggest buying it. It's inexpensive and can be found in most Indian grocers or online.

Vannakkam cmorel: I second Smith's suggestion. We explored it in that thread. As an update, I never did go find any slaked lime. Buying kumkum is cheaper. In fact we still have a lot of it ion my house from prasadam on pilgrimage in India.

Namaste,

I would agree, it is not too expensive to buy. While perhaps there is concern over a residual feeling of somehow "cheating", Maa has never expressed Her displeasure over my use of "store-bought" ;)
