"On my first visit to South India I bought this silver bracelet in the Meenakshi Temple, Madurai.

I have worn it 24/7 for five years. It has accompanied me on many trips and is a part of me. If I feel low I clasp the bracelet and I am transported back to India and happiness floods over me. A translation of the Sanskrit inscription: Aum Namah Shivaya = 'Adoration to Siva'."
