20 RELIGIOUS RITES The application of this round shaped “kumkum” generally signifies the particular sect to which the person belongs. In this regard, Brahmand Purana is of the view that : ª Š±üÐé‹ÎíS² }¢Š²ï¼é ç±à¢¢Hï ¥ç¼}¢Ý¢ïãÚï J Hÿ}¢ì²¢ „¢{Z „}¢¢„èÝ: Ú}¢ïãæ ¼~¢ çÝ±ëü¼: JJ (Urdhvapundrasya madhyet vishãle atimanohare.

However, one who wears ‘Urdhva Pundram’ without leaving adequate space in the centre for applying kumkum or Shreechurnam, is considered a Brahmin of the lowest order, since he neglects the presence of Lord Vishnu and Shree Lakshmi who always reside here.

All devout Vaishnava’s, seeking the divine grace of Goddess Lakshmi shall wear Haridrahchurna kumkum in middle region of ‘Urdhva Pundram’. The mid-region of ‘Urdhva Pundram’ is attributed to be the abode of Lord Shree Lakshmi.

It is also believed that ‘Urdhva Pundram’ Thilak, applied on a person in different colours or hues, using different fingers of the hand shall yield different results. Thus, Tilak worn in blackish color will bestow peace of mind to the wearer, while reddish color will establish control or supremacy over others. Yellow colored Tilak will bring wealth and prosperity, but Vaishnavas are recongnised by white Tilak on their foreheads. Is regard to the usage of various fingers for the
