Kirtimukha Brass Wall Hanging Mask

The Kirtimukha, or the "Face of Glory," is a powerful guardian symbol found above the entrances of temples and homes across India. This brass wall hanging mask depicts the striking, fierce, and protective face of a creature born from the light of Lord Shiva. It serves as a spiritual "threshold guardian," designed to swallow negativity before it can enter your sacred space.

Importance:
The All Consuming Glory: Legend says this creature was so hungry it began to consume itself at Shiva's command, leaving only its face. Impressed by this total surrender, Shiva named it Kirtimukha (Face of Glory) and declared that it must always be present at his temple gates.
The Threshold Guardian: Its position at the top of a door or frame represents the boundary between the worldly and the divine. It acts as a filter, ensuring that only those with a pure heart and clear mind pass through.
Victory Over Ego: Because Kirtimukha consumed its own body, it symbolizes the ultimate destruction of the "self" or ego, which is the biggest obstacle to spiritual growth.

Benefits:
Ward Off the Evil Eye: The fierce expression and prominent features are believed to catch and neutralize the gaze of jealousy or ill will directed toward your home or business.
Absorbing Negativity: Just as the Kirtimukha consumed itself, this mask is thought to "swallow" the negative vibrations brought in by visitors or the environment, keeping the internal atmosphere of the home pure.
Inviting Auspiciousness: By clearing away obstacles at the entrance, it makes way for Prana (life energy) and prosperity to enter freely.
Symbol of Status and Tradition: Beyond its spiritual benefits, a brass Kirtimukha is a mark of a traditional and well protected household, adding a regal, antique aesthetic to your decor.
