Also known as spiritual musk or kasturi powder, it is widely used in Hindu rituals for its soothing aroma and auspicious presence. Whether offered to the deity or applied as a mark of devotion, this aromatic substance holds a significant place in temple and home worship practices.
• Origins in Ritual Use
The use of kasthuri powder in religious customs dates back to ancient Vedic and temple traditions. Historically, kasturi was considered a spiritual substance of great value, used to purify the atmosphere and awaken divine energies during sacred rituals. References to its use can be found in early scriptures, where it is associated with enhancing spiritual awareness and bringing the devotee closer to the divine.
• This pooja powder is especially popular in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and parts of Karnataka. In the United States, it has become a devotional staple for Indian households who continue to practice age-old traditions. Kasthuri is highly favored during special festivals, daily poojas, and temple alankarams for its fragrance and sacred symbolism.
• Uses and Applications: Kasturi is applied to idols, yantras, and even offered during aarti and abhishekam rituals. This fragrance powder can also be added to sandal paste or mixed with turmeric for traditional worship practices. Devotees often apply it on the forehead as a sign of surrender and reverence. Whether used in homams, temple ceremonies, or personal meditations, it adds a rich sensory depth to the prayer experience.
• Storage and Preservation: To preserve the freshness and sanctity of the pooja powder, it should be stored in a dry, clean container. Keep it wrapped in a cotton cloth or in a closed pooja box away from direct sunlight or moisture. Storing kasturi properly helps retain its aroma and ensures it remains pure for each ritual use.
• Kasthuri is especially used in the worship of Lord Krishna, Lord Venkateswara, and Goddess Durga. It plays an important role during Janmashtami, Fridays dedicated to Devi, and various temple festivals. Applying kasturi or offering it during pooja is believed to please the deities and bring blessings of peace, prosperity, and clarity.
