    Edit Photo Details Mango Leaves   #india #protection #superstitions #alipura #village_life
    In the small village of Alipura, many houses had mango leaves hanging over the doorways - warding off evil spirits and negative energy from entering the house.

    Story 1

    I love the minimal nature of this clean frame! I immediately focus on the texture of the door and the dried mango leaves above-- keeping the evil spirits and negative energy from the house! I love it.
