Since time immemorial, powdered vermillion has occupied pride of place in Indian culture. Called sindoor in multiple Indian languages, it is the most prized possession of the woman who is loved and cared for. As such, it is indispensable to the shringar of the married woman. The murti that you see on this page brings out the ritual aspect of sindoor.
She is an exceptionally beautiful apsara. She looks into a handheld mirror and carefully draws a line of sindoor along the parting of her hair, which is gathered in a thick bun against the raised upper arm. Her gracious features bear a composure of supreme focus stemming from the intense, feminine desire to please the one she loves.
The rest of her is formed in the same finesse of proportion as the face: full breasts, a shapely waist, and smooth, curvaceous legs. With her feet against an upturned lotus pedestal, she stands, the whole composition a deep gold monotone. Note the lustre of the pure brass medium down the length of the apsara’s naked back.
