Why we wear chanthanam and kumkumam?
Chanthanam reduces our body heat and makes us to feel cool and refreshes us.
Kumkumam which we use to put between our eyebrows is the place where many nreves from our body converge so to avoid generation of heat and to get rid of bad forces we wear kumkumam.

What is the concept behind wearing viputhi?
Actually is called sacred ash. We wear it to reveal that cow dung removes dirt and makes the place clean. just as we wear viputhi to remove all impurities from our body and we should realize that nothing belongs to us in the world and all will be in the form of ashes one day. So each and every activities are only based on the nature and philosophy that our ancestors followed which had emerged as our precious tradition. so, be proud to be an Indian which stands first in its heritage and culture even today.
