This type of bandhanwar with kalashas is a traditional garland generally used to decorate windows and doors in India. They are supposed to protect from evil spirits and prevent bad energies from entering homes. In addition, when placed at the main entrance of the houses, they protect and also welcome those who arrive. This strip is especially auspicious as it carries small images of Kalashas, which are small vessels with a coconut offering that are considered a symbol of good omen in Hinduism.
