I am Caitán and I represent happiness. I am from Santiago and I have 2 sides to me, a happy one colored green and the other side is red.
The green side stands for the good things of life: nature, the earth, the trees. My red side represents wickedness, destruction, death and pollution. The message is that wickedness becomes good when it meets happiness.
What I would like to say is: just imagine how the world would be if we destroyed nature and how it would be if we took care of it. The white circle is like the air, the water, the plants and nature. We would be in harmony in the balance of life.

Hello! I am Chanta and I come from India, where I am used to protect men and women.
I represent water, the air, the earth and fire. As you can see, my face is divided into two parts: the right side represents nature and the left side a man. On my chest there is a bird, which represents the earth (coffee-colored) and the air (in white).
Each year, in April (month of the earth), there is a festival in my honor. During the ritual, I am thrown into a fire to represent the death of a child because of pollution. It also means the death to which I am condemned if we don't protect my natural resources and if I a polluted. The next day they make me again so that I will be ready for the next annual ritual.
