Hello anandi,

hi kavitha,
I think what you are saying is gundu manjal. It is another variety. Just test it: apply a bit in your palm and check. If it colors v badly, then it is gundu manjal. It will take a lot of water and soap to clean it off from your hand.!!!!!
Anandi, Are you talking abt the virali manjal? That is also hard and if you apply in yr face, there will be no stain like our regualr powder manjal podi.
And, I thought that if you dry the kizhangu manjal, you will get virali manjal which is a harder one, isnt it?
I shd definitely talk to my mother to avoid this cofusion..
Thanks, anyway..bye..
thks for the info anadi.Can you tell me the types of manjal if you know.
Manjal - Tumeric. Belongs to the the Ginger family - Zingiberacea.Quote:

araroot -- Curcuma angustifolia
The types of manjal that I know are:
1.kasturni manjal-hard and lean with good smell
2.virali manjal-this is also hard and has sort of branches-they give in tamboolam, use for rasa podi-I think this is the dry form of kizhangu manjal
3.Gundu manjal-this also they give in tamboolam-some people use for faces-it is like manjal paint!!
Friends,
I have a problem. My dayghter is 16.5 months. We put her mottai in 1 year-she didnt grow much hair afterwards(she was not having much hair even before)-many people said this is because, here in US, they use clippers for putting mottai and doesnt stimulate the cells-so 3 months later, we put mottai again in a barber shop-still I think she is not growing much hair atall.
I have good hair(had v v thick hair when I was in school) and my husband also has good hair. I dont know why my daughter is not growing much hair. Please give me some suggections.
Now I am applying coconut oil heated with curry leaves suggested by napolims here.
Please help me in this. Do you think I should shave her head a couple more times?
Idiappam and anandi thks for the reply. Will search in the web for images.
Anandi,
Don't be sad. Since ur child is just 16 months old..no need to worry. My friends daughter also has same problem. hope it will grow when she grows. Ask ur mom and mom-in law wheather either of u or ur husband has less hair when were child.
