Alta is also called Mahavar. It is in liquid form, which is applied on hands and feet. From Bihar to Odisha and West Bengal, women apply alta on their feet and hands in every auspicious work. This is considered a sign of being married. However, sometimes virgin girls also decorate their hands with Mahavar.
