Shared by resident Niharika Rao, the photo quickly gained traction on social media. While some users found the woman’s expression “scary,” others joked about falling in love with her intensity. The photo has even been turned into a meme.
The reason behind the photo remains unclear. Some speculate it’s a playful deterrent against shoplifting, while others believe it wards off “evil eyes” according to local traditions. Regardless of its purpose, the “angry woman” has become a Bengaluru icon.
