Clarification: No “Indian” Good-Luck Craft Tradition in Mexico

The premise appears to conflate two distinct contexts:

  • “Indians in Mexico” could refer to Indigenous peoples of Mexico (Nahua, Maya, Zapotec, etc.) or the South Asian diaspora (~1,000–2,000 people).
  • Neither group has a documented, widespread tradition of making a specific “good luck piece to protect homes.”

Indigenous Mexican Protective Traditions

  • Ojo de Dios (God’s Eye) – Huichol/Wixárika yarn cross; spiritual protection.
  • Copal incense – cleansing, offerings.
  • Altars / ofrendas – Day of the Dead, saints.
  • Herbal bundles (limpias) – curanderismo.

South Asian Diaspora in Mexico

Small community (mainly Punjabi Sikhs in early 1900s, recent IT/professionals). May practice Hindu/Sikh home rituals (om symbols, Ganesh, khanda), but no distinct “Mexican-Indian” craft.

If you have a specific object, region, or community in mind, please clarify. The query as stated doesn’t match a known cultural practice.
