In a city known for blending traditions with innovation, a quirky twist to the traditional Nimbu-mirchi has captured attention of the netizens. The age-old practice of hanging nimbu mirchi (nazar battu)-a bundle of lemons and chillies believed to ward off the evil eye-has undergone a spicy transformation.
A family in Mumbai hanged an unique Nazar Battu outside their home where they replaced the chillies with the packs of spicy noodles. The image has gone viral on social media gathering funny reactions from the audience over this unique take on Nazar Battu. A user commented, “feeling sad for mirchi” and another commented, “Ab toh nazar ko bhji nazar nahi lagegi”.
