| kunku | A red spot applied on the forehead by married women whose husband is alive as a mark of good fortune. This powder is also applied to God as a part of worship. It is prepared from turmeric, lemon juice, alum etc. |

| Notes => | | When a woman dies as Ahev*, all her gold ornaments are removed before the funeral. But because of her Ahev* status, her kunku* on her forehead is not removed. That is her privilege of having died as an Ahev* woman. The special importance enjoyed by kunku* is cherished by women. |
