WHY?
In Indian temple tradition, the Kirtimukh — the "face of glory" — has guarded thresholds for centuries, devouring negativity before it can cross into sacred space.
Crowned here by the coiled form of Vasuki Nag, symbol of transformation and karmic balance, and cast in a deep, black tourmaline-inspired finish, this piece carries centuries of protective symbolism in every curve.
The gasping mouth beneath represents ego dissolving before the divine, a reminder that true protection begins with surrender.
Place it above your door, on a pillar, or at your gate, and let it stand watch, absorbing negativity, inviting auspiciousness, and guarding your space with quiet, ancient power. 🕉️
