Have to agree with red! but i would tackle the stain using same method. If it's not old then you might find it will come out.

if it has turmeric in it the chances of it coming out are negligible

Acetone will remove it from synthetics but if has set into wool no chance.Ensure you check carpet backing and apply it indirectly .Do not use too much and it will only need a short dwell time.

just spoke to mamu local indian , he is asking if the tikka was from his shop
as it has been on special all week
and is a bit watery
so it might come out
