Indian House Charm: "Mor Pankh"
Collection: Everyday Connections
This is an Indian decorative fan, hung in the house asking for the Hindu god Vishnu to protect the house from evil spirits.
Krishna, one of the avatars of Vishnu, the protector god of the Hindu pantheon, is always shown wearing a peacock feather crown. People hang peacock feathers in their homes to ask for Krishna's protection as a charm against evil spirits.
Tradition says that placing the mor pankh in the north of the house will attract financial success. The mor pankh is said to have the ability to ward off evil spirits, acting as a shield to safeguard the residents from negative influences.
