The Kunke is a sacred container used exclusively in Bengali weddings to hold sindur (vermilion) during the Sindur Daan ritual. Traditionally crafted from brass or copper, it is beautifully polished and often decorated with auspicious designs, symbolizing purity, love, and lifelong commitment.

During the wedding, the Kunke plays a central role as the groom applies sindur to the bride’s hair parting—a timeless gesture of marital bonding and blessings.
