Photographer’s Note
In India, it is believed that bad eyes (Bad people's perspective, aka Drishti) can spoil the peace of the house. To make sure those negative rays dont affect the house, these kinds of Devil faces are nailed to the external walls of the house.

Hola Karthik :
When I was in The India I saw many demons as this one,
in the houses, it is a curious custom and that has
sense for the persons that it is believed
that bad eyes.
Congratulations for the photo and the note.
Un saludo.

Hello Sunil
This mask reminds me the 'Narkasur' (the demon King Ravan)...and I think Diwali celebrates the end of this evil.
You have presented nicely the mask for which I appreciate colors and texture! The blurred BG gave more impact to the mask!
Cheers
Marilyn
