Wear Lord Murugan's concentrated Shakti close to your chest, carried on ebony that has protected devotees for generations.

The Shakti vigraha is a deep, sculpted pendant, so cup it in one hand as you lift the malai over your head instead of letting it swing against the beads. Copper responds well to a dry cloth and badly to water, so wipe rather than rinse, and keep this one off the bathroom shelf entirely.
