Prateek Dubey : Threads​

In India wishes are expressed in the form of a red cotton thread. Its called Mauli. Its quite common amongst Hindus and Muslims. Hindus usually tie it on a tree ( Peepul or a Banyan tree) and Muslims tie it on something associated with a holy grave ( usually a marble curtain in a window). Here there are such threads tied on an old Peepul tree trunk in the courtyard of a temple ( its not visible). When the wish comes true, then the thread is untied.

Ps : I know that the reds seem a bit blown, but unfortunately I cannot edit the picture now..

Ps II : Peepul and Banyan are both holy trees belonging to the fig family. It is believed souls take refuge in a peepul tree. All kinds of souls...

Hello John,
I asked the same question, so the answer was that you can untie any thread. Just that you'll have to come back to the same place to say thankyou...
