The coloured powder extracted from this flower is mixed with mercury to form the best quality of sindur used in religious activities..This sindur is mainly used in worshipping Lord Hanuman and Lord Ganpati.We see in almost all Hanuman temples that the deity of Hanumanji is covered or coated with orange colour sindur.
