Mirchi Nimbu to Cast off an Evil Eye

I clicked this picture at Port Blair while we were waiting to board MV Makruzz. The lemon and the chilli (nimbu and mirchi in Hindi) that you see tied to a vehicle is supposed to be put to cast off an evil eye. It is very commonly used all over India though we have personally never used it. I am happy just with a picture.

  1. yea….there’s too much hoopla about the evil eye in India…it’s the safest and easiest thing to dump on if anything goes wrong, just say ‘Kisi ki nazar lag gayi’

  2. Hmm in the part am from, they typically the vehicle pooja will involve squashing the lemon placed rt under the ca tyres…..
