The name "Kasturi" is derived from the Sanskrit word "kastura," which means "covered with dust, saffron, or gold." It is a traditional Indian name with deep cultural significance, especially in Hinduism. Historically, "Kasturi" was a popular name for temple deities and royalty due to the prestigious symbolism of gold and turmeric. Hindus considered gold as a symbol of wealth, power, and prosperity, representing the divine qualities of purity, stability, and spiritual growth. Turmeric, on the other hand, was considered a sacred and potent spice used in Hindu rituals and religious offerings. The belief was that incorporating this spice into one's daily life would bestow gifts of good health, happiness, and longevity.
