Real turmeric stains your fingertip yellow and smells earthy. If it smells of nothing, it has sat too long.

About this piece

Haldi is the first colour of Indian worship. In many homes a small Ganesha is shaped from turmeric paste before a puja begins, the Devi is offered haldi with kumkum, and a wedding opens with it. This is pure turmeric, finely ground for puja, 100 g in a jar. It is packed for puja use, not for the kitchen.
