Wheel of protection

In this entrancing 500-piece puzzle we see concentric rings of multi-colored drishti gombes gazing out from a baking-hot clay wall. Look closely and you will find small differences between them: the arch of their eyebrows, the curvature of their horns, the varied decorations on their tongues and ears. Forty-three drishti gombes collectively form the radial pattern of a chakra, which represents physical and spiritual energy.

The drishti gombe is a common sight across South India. You can find them perched on ledges, or hanging high overhead on the sides of houses and shops. With its bright colors, toothy grin and piercing eyes, the drishti gombe is placed in prominent view over its surroundings to ward off evil spirits and chase away bad energy.
