South India

Drishti bommai guardian charm

Drishti bommai are bold, fierce faces hung on new houses and shops across South India. Their wide eyes and fangs are meant to draw the evil eye away from the home and its people.

Ours is painted in green, red, ivory and antique gold with a bead strand and a small bell. It's compact and weighty, so it rocks rather than swings.

Its ritual repaints the guardian: each double-click shifts its colours, with a soft wooden thud.
