Nature has created many rare things, the use of which is auspicious for health, wealth and happiness. Tantra is a technique or a method worship which uses natural materials and substances in a specified manner. The natural substances bring about certain changes in people's lives and are thus treated as Lucky Charms.

The various lucky charms commonly used in Hinduism are :

Black Chirmi beads are found growing in the forests of Aravali Mountains in India. They are believed to be hundreds of years old. It is said that the bead selects its owner and will never stay with an unlucky person.

Horse Shoe Kada is made from horse shoe and is wrapped in silver chains. It is worn to remove the "Vish Yoga" arising from the conjunction of Saturn and Moon in the horoscope. This Kada brings a positive effect in the life of the wearer.

Siyar Singhi
"Siyar" (Jackal) does not have horns. But a small bunch of hair with horn emerges from its forehead when it hoots facing downwards. This is called "Siyar Singhi".
