Ghanta Karna Chaturdasi or GhantaKarna is the Nepali festival commemorating the death of Ghanta(Bell) Karna(Ears) "Bell Ears,",

a demon with jingling bells in his ears so that he'd never have to hear the name of Vishnu.


According some opinions the festival is a relic of ancient demonolatry in the Kathmandu valley.


In Hindu mythology he caused death and destruction wherever he went, until a god in the form of a frog persuaded him to 

leap into a well, after which the people clubbed him to death and dragged his body to the river to be cremated.


The Jatra is  celebrated by making the domn's effigy of bamboos which is finally burnt  while the remains are sanked into 

the river, signaling the end of the festival.


From an iconographic point of view the  body of the Demon is painted with red,blue and black color and had a pair of bells 

on his ear.


The festival  is celebrated towards the end of the Nepalese month of Shrawan (14th day of waning half of Hindu month of Sravana)


It  begin with  children that collect money from passerby,  then used to make an effigy of the demon,

Young girls hang tiny dolls on the effigy of Ghanta Karna to protect themselves from the demon

children sell iron rings and iron nails


It is believed that  who have iron nails in the lintels of their homes or are wearing an iron ring will be protected 

from evil spirits in the coming year.

The Mapuche shamans called Machi have ritual objects to carry out the ceremony for each medical treatment
 or pleading ritual.

The Mapuche developed the art of stone and wood sculpture with the intention of establishing
communication between Ngünechen (the deity that governs the world) and human beings.

The new shaman provides her- or himself with a wooden pole called Kemukemu.

This pole is transformed into a sacred Rewe (clean and pure space) when she or he is initiated into the realm of a devoted
 Machi in a ritual called Ngeykurewen.

The first Rewe of a Machi has four steps carved into its front, representing the four main sacred spaces.

http://www.csulb.edu/~csnider/dickinson.shamanism.html

These steps end at the top of the pole with a carved head representing the human spirits involved in the pleading ceremony.

The Rewe is placed to the right side in front of the Machi’s home.

The Rewe is a means of transportation used by the Machi to reach Wenu Mapu—or the blue space above, where the deities
live—to maintain communication with the sacred spirits.

With time, the Machi acquires new power and skills to appeal for the blessings of Ngünechen and fight against the evil
spirits.

Each new spiritual power merits a new sacred step carved into the pole. This eight-step Rewe seems to have belonged to an
experienced, accomplished Machi with sufficient knowledge and strength to propitiate communication with Ngünechen.

This necessary spiritual mediation allows her or him to face the strongest evil spirits and bring back the right
equilibrium for the community in times of danger or calamity.
