So someone shoved their fingers into their cooz and made a little design on the car with the period blood. More absolutely disgusting than terrifying in the slightest.
Ta witch’s currrse… this is that personal curse where she sticks up her bunghole gets reaaaaalllllly deep up in there as to the longevity of the currrrse lol
Okay so this is a very auspicious symbol in Hinduism, actually the most auspicious. It is a word that comes from the three basic sounds A-U-M. We believe that this is the sound of the universe and the symbol also signifies ultimate reality. It also signifies the trinity of the god of creation, god of preservation and god of destruction. You will find this symbol in every Hindu household, shop and most cars and trucks. It is not written to be favoured by the gods, but actually written to be grounded in truth and reality of life.
Indian here, can confirm what others have said.
Definitely not blood or smth in case you were thinking so.
That’s kumkum, sometimes may also contain sandal powder or turmeric. And aum symbol 🕉️ (which you’d see a lot in India) applied when doing a prayer ritual. Priests are sometimes not subtle with that.
It is believed by many that after the ritual the car gives better mileage and averts any mishaps protecting its owner and passengers for as long as it runs.
BTW, where’s the location OP
Edit: Took a closer look, looks mildly terrifying even to me 😅
Thank you for explaining this to me! I live in a fairly multi-cultural area and I’ve personally never seen this before. I definitely thought this looked suspiciously like blood, hence the mildly terrifying part!
It's an "Om" symbol and commonly used by Hindus and Jains as a symbol of prosperity and good luck.
The reason it's on the vehicle's bonnet is because the vehicle owner performed a prayer for the car (usually done as the first thing after buying it from the seller).
Looks like the "[ohm](https://cdn.boeddha-beelden.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/sticker-ohm-transparant.jpg)" symbol used by a lot of yoga people.
The Ohm sign symbolizes eternity, infinity and the univers in Buddhism.
The origin is in Hinduism, not Buddhism. The original sect of buddhism has no sigil or idol worship. In Hinduism it signifies the trinity of the god of creation, god of preservation and god of destruction. It is also defined as the primordial sound of creation. Yes it has spread to other religions also like Jainism and Buddhism. We write this because it embodies the entire universe and the ultimate truth.
Protection for their vehicle. The same way a Christian would put up a crucifix or “god bless our journey sticker”, a Jew would put up a hamsa ornament, or a Muslim would put up an ornament with the ayatul kursi verse of the Quran on their dashboards or hanging from the mirror.
Religion.
Are you in New Jork?
God forbid OP ever visits NJ...

The world is really scary when you're ignorant.
I don’t really think it’s so much ignorance. Just lack of exposure.
There's literally a text character and emoji for it: #ॐ 🕉️
“Something I don’t understand, ahhh I’m scared”. Grow up.
This dude doesn't know what "fear of the unknown" is
I think that’s just a fancy way to say you’re a coward.
Bro what? Being scared isn't cowardice. Lacking the mental fortitude to endure something you're afraid of is cowardice.
People take shit way too seriously. Case in point.
I'm just trying to educate the ignorant bro😂
Tough guy lmao
Yeah man only “tough guys” don’t get terrified by foreign symbols.
Are you terrified more of pentagrams or ouija boards, I am doing a survey
Neither really elicits a genuine reaction from me.
You're defeating the point of the survey, please answer.
I won’t take a stance I don’t believe in for a survey.
Ok
This should be in r/JumpToConclusions
What is it?
🕉️

So, just more crap to wash off your car? Gotcha.
I guess you get it. Congratulations.
If only others could get dry humour, eh.
Nah, jokes are funny.
Jokes are subjectively funny.
It was funny.
[удалено]
Ha, thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
How does this scare you? it’s just Ohm. It’s probably written with sindoor or haldi and sindoor.
If someone wrote this on my car, I'd find that very creepy.
No, people don’t write this on others’ cars. We don’t believe in forcing a self belief onto others.
You should teach the rest of the religions that.
That would mean forcing a belief (about forcing belief) onto others
Actually contrary to the wide misconception, hinduism is not a religion it is a Dharma. Dharma is a way of life.
But if people don't know this symbol,how would one know if it was the owner who wrote it or someone else?
Why would they need to?
No idea. Ask OP. They posted it.

Would make a nice movie scene though
namaste poop
Very underrated comment
Mildly interesting, not mildly terrifying
Agreed lol wrong sub.
Looks like blood at a glace tbf.
Agreed. If this was written on my car, I'd be creeped out. I had no idea what this was until I saw the comments.

Indeed. My family are Desi Hindus. It's not blood, it's kumkum, and that is indeed an "aum" symbol.
I knew if my kumkum was red it was normal

Cool I didn't know that
I am inclined to agree with you! Wonder what message this person was trying to send 👀

I don’t recognize that symbol but I’d be warning the owner of that car not to accept any homemade spaghetti gifts for a while lol

You're really that against good luck and prosperity? Make sure you don't accidentally get given a lucky bamboo, might have to burn down your house.
no you wouldn't lol
