Many of the havelis in Rajasthan have scores of such intrinsically carved windows. The image also captures the superstitions that still prevail in the Indian society. The window has a lemon and some green chillies hanging at its head. It is said that this lemon chilli combination wards off evil spirits ! ..
Now were I to tell you that making this lemon and green chilly charm is a big business in India, would you believe me ? But truly, it is , every morning scores of people prepare these charms and sell them to businessmen who hang it at the entrance to their shops, to drivers who tie it to their vehicles for safety and good luck. WOW , in India you can start a business for almost anything !. Lemon and Chilli charms indeed !
