Frequently Asked Questions 1. What does "Sindoor" mean, and how does it relate to this mat's color? "Sindoor" refers to the traditional vermillion-red powder used in Indian culture, and the name reflects this mat's deep red tone. 2. Is this shade of red the same as the Lohita or Geru sets, or different? It's a distinct shade from both. Lohita pairs red with black in a diagonal weave, Geru uses a rust-red diamond pattern throughout, while Sindoor has a solid deep red centre with a separate multicolor striped border. 3. Does the solid red centre fade faster than the striped border colors? Since both the centre and border are woven using the same natural dyeing process, neither fades faster than the other under normal use and care. 4. Is this color considered auspicious for festive or wedding table settings? Red tones like this are commonly considered festive and auspicious in Indian households, making it a popular choice for weddings, Diwali, and other celebratory table settings, though the choice is ultimately personal. 5. How many stripe colors are woven into the border, and do they run the full length of the runner? The border weaves in cream, black, and orange accent stripes, and this pattern runs the full length of both the runner and each table mat.
