What are the two approaches to a lethal Putla (effigy) ritual — with or without an item that touched the target?
One approach brings an organic item that touched the target's body — clothing, hair, or fingernails — into the ritual on an astrologically significant lunar date or Nakshatra, practiced most often around Holi and Diwali; the other, used when no such item is available, relies on mastery over Kritya, active deities, and Guru-transmitted tradition, timed to potent windows such as Tara Chaturdashi in regions like Bengal.
