If you want a toran that is mostly about keeping buri nazar off the house, this is the one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe evil eye over the entrance is a tradition shared across India, the Gulf and the Mediterranean, which is part of why it feels so at home on a UAE door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it is made of\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base is a stiff gold lace band with a row of cut mirror teardrops along its lower edge, so it throws light every time the door opens. Two large beaded evil eyes in deep blue, white and black sit on it, each flanked by white and gold beaded lotus flowers with small kundan clusters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ends carry aqua beaded leaves with a white beaded lotus and a turquoise stone flower. At the centre a peacock fan of blue and aqua stones rises above a kundan paisley and a cream pearl lotus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo nazar roundels:\u003c\/strong\u003e hand beaded evil eyes in blue, white and black.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeacock fan centre:\u003c\/strong\u003e blue and aqua stones over a kundan paisley and pearl lotus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMirror teardrop edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e cut mirror pieces along the full length of the band.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlue tassels:\u003c\/strong\u003e sky blue bugle-bead tassels with pearl drops at both corners and the centre, plus two single drops along the band.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e about 100 cm wide with a drop of about 28 cm to the longest tassel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePacked:\u003c\/strong\u003e ships in a box, so the beadwork and tassels arrive flat and undamaged.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOn a UAE front door\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost front doors in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman apartments and villas are about 1 metre wide, and this bandhanwar is made to that size. It hangs across the top of the door and sits neatly within the door frame, with the corner drops just inside the two top corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band is stiff and the work is stitched rather than glued, which is what holds up through a UAE summer behind a sunlit door. Delivery is free across the UAE on orders from AED 30, so this piece ships free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the same idea in pink, see the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/lotus-and-evil-eye-bandhanwar-mirror-work-door-toran-on-gold-lace\"\u003eLotus and Evil Eye Bandhanwar\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/diwali-decoration-collection\"\u003eDiwali decoration collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions people ask\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAre the mirrors real?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, cut mirror pieces set along the band edge. Handle the band by its ends and do not fold it across the mirror row.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the evil eye a Hindu symbol?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nazar is used across many cultures, including in Indian homes as nazar battu or drishti. It sits comfortably alongside the lotus and peacock, both deeply rooted Hindu motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I hang it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the two band ends, on small hooks, nails or adhesive hooks either side of the door frame. A third hook behind the centre keeps a long band dead straight. The band is stiff, so it holds a clean line without a rail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill the beadwork come loose?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery motif is hand stitched onto the band rather than glued, which is what usually fails on cheaper pieces in UAE heat. Store it flat between festivals and it lasts for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it only for Diwali?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. A bandhanwar on the main door is a year round welcome, and this one suits Dhanteras and Diwali, Navratri, Grah Pravesh, Satyanarayan Katha and a wedding house equally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust gently with a soft dry brush. Do not wet the mirrors, beads or the gold lace, and do not fold the band across the medallions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use it indoors?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It looks just as good over a mandir arch, a pooja room door or a living room doorway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAdd Divine to your Rituals.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Divine Sansar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53741586809144,"sku":"DS-BANDHANWAR-NEEL-NAZAR","price":149.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/3588\/8184\/files\/01-neel-nazar-bandhanwar-divine-sansar.jpg?v=1793891464","url":"https:\/\/divinesansar.com\/products\/neel-nazar-bandhanwar-blue-evil-eye-door-toran","provider":"Divine Sansar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
