A recurring image of a wide-eyed, saree-clad woman on construction sites and businesses across Karnataka has sparked online curiosity. Initially a mystery, internet users identified the poster as a modern 'nazar battu' or 'drishti charm,' used to ward off the evil eye and negative energy. The image, believed by some to be of YouTuber Niharika Rao, has become a viral symbol of protection, replacing traditional fearsome charms with a meme-like expression.
