Vannakkam,
A few months back I received a new puja set. One of the items included is still a mystery to me. Does anyone know what this is? Thanks so much

It is a container for kumkum - red vermillion powder. It is very auspicious. Have you been able to open the lid on top, and does the container look at least 1 inch deep? Then it is definitely kumkum container.
I don't see any holes and it seems larger in proportion for an incence holder (agarbatti ghar).

Vannakkam,
Thank you both. It's definitely not an incense burner (no holes) plus the set already has one. I thought it was for kum kum at first too but it doesn't seem to open. At least I haven't been able to get it open. Is there a special way to open it?
Aum Hari Aum!

Oh wait a minute... I see the divine cloth strings on the side with some mantra printed on it. This means perhaps it contains some very special kumkum or ashTagandha or some such thing, as prasAd from a temple puja but to be kept on the altar, and "worshiped" with a flower, let's say.
IT is not supposed to be opened!
You keep it there like you would keep the turtle, conch, etc.

That definitely looks like a holder for kum-kum powder. I haven't seen one of those in quite some time.
