        Indian Moms apply ‘mascara’ (actually it is kohl) to baby’s eyes and a black dot on baby’s face to protect from evil eye.

    If your baby doesn’t have one of these, they’re gonna get the evil eye and that’ll make them hot, cranky and sick.

    My completely spitballed and made up take is that perhaps in indian media “newborns” are shown with makeup and jewelry?

    Mind you I have done exactly zero research on this
