In Hinduism, ‘Tika’ refers to a mark or paste applied on the forehead, often in the form of a colored dot. It is a sacred symbol and is commonly made from substances like sandalwood, saffron, or vermilion. The application of Tika holds ritualistic and symbolic significance, representing various aspects depending on the context, tradition, or specific ceremony within Hindu practices.

This Tika box features a finely crafted wooden body with an eye-catching pagoda-style lid. Formerly an integral part of temples and households for storing ceremonial powders, this vintage Indian box can now serve as a versatile storage solution, suitable for jewelry or various other items.
