The previous version stated the mix included lime, the fruit, instead of slaked lime, the chemical compound. I have fixed the link.--Snowgrouse 01:24, 30 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Sindoor and Kumkum appear to be different things. Sindoor is very specific and has specific uses. Kumkum appears to be more general and can have several compositions and colors. It also has multiple functions unrelated to Sindoor. Maybe Sindoor can be classified as a type of Kumkum (uncertain of this - is it true?), but its cultural and religious significance warrant a distinct article. --Hunnjazal (talk) 09:18, 6 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
