Ganga Snana Kit – Traditional Ritual Bath Essentials

Shikakai Powder – Made from dried pods of Acacia concinna, along with a touch of hibiscus and fenugreek, just like how it was ground at home for generations.

Nalangu Maavu – A blend of turmeric, green gram, wild turmeric (kasturi manjal), rose petals, and vettiver (ramacham) – the classic recipe used for radiant, soft skin.

Ganga Snana Oil – A traditional mix of gingelly oil infused with herbs like karunjeeragam (black cumin), avarampoo, curry leaves, and a hint of camphor, prepared in the old way to mark the sacred Diwali bath.

Thazhampoo Kumkumam  – Pure turmeric-based kumkum for auspicious rituals.

Agarbathi – Hand-rolled incense sticks with natural resins, wood powder, and temple-style fragrance.

On the morning of Diwali, before sunrise, light the agarbathi and let the fragrance fill your home. Offer a small prayer with the Thazhampoo kumkumam, invoking blessings for the year ahead.

Warm the Ganga Snana Oil slightly and massage it gently into your hair and body, just like how our mothers and grandmothers used to do. This oiling before the ritual bath is considered auspicious and believed to bring health, protection, and prosperity.

Wash your hair with the natural Shikakai, letting its earthy aroma remind you of those childhood Diwali mornings. Follow with Nalangu Maavu, applying it on the body for softness, fragrance, and a feeling of freshness that lingers through the day.

This simple, sacred ritual is not just a bath—it is a cleansing of the body, mind, and spirit, a way to begin the New Year with purity and joy.
