YALI MASKS

2013 is coming to an end. Now that we are looking forward to a brand new beginning, I thought I will do a
post on YALI. It's kind of a DRISHTIMUKHUT.Generally it's hanged near the entrance of homes to ward off evil.





I understand that it originated as a mythical creature in Hindu temples mainly in Karnataka. Often sculpted in the pillars of temples and believed to be even powerful than lions or tigers.

It comprises of 5 sheshnag,2 peacocks and elephants,one Lord Ganesha and a yali figure to ward off evil.

So let's have a brand new beginning without any obstacles.may the YALI figurine protect us.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
