Kritya
Every question on the site tagged Kritya, each answered from a timestamped source rather than a summary written from memory.
A malevolent being ritually created and dispatched to harm a specific target — a classical, named category of Abhichara, commissioned most often by someone within the victim's own close circle out of jealousy.

Who actually commissions Abhichara most often, and why do they often deny believing in Tantra?
Around 90% of Abhichara occurs within close circles — family members, relatives, or community acquaintances, consumed by jealousy at someone's growth or prosperity — and ironically, these are often the very people who publicly claim not to believe in Tantra, mantras, or spirits.
How does the instantaneous form of Marana Prayoga work, and what are Milan Siddhi and Handi?
In the instantaneous type, a Siddha or mantra practitioner projects mastered power that kills the target within moments; the regional Milan Siddhi technique — also called Muthkarni — calls the target by name before striking, and its 'Handi' (earthen pot) branch carries the killing energy in a similarly named ritual pot.
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.
