When I was a child, there used to be a fair in my town during the Diwali and Id festivities. Among the many things I saw was a strange puppet show. There were three puppets, one of a man, another of a woman, and the third one of a rakshasa (demon). Whenever the rakshasa was brought close to the woman, she would turn her face away. But when the man was brought close to her, she would turn back and face the man.
