In Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, and Mongolia, the Ghau box usually contains a written prayer or a sacred yantra diagram such as the Kalachakra. The prayers and yantras are usually hand inscribed or block-printed by a priest and are always blessed before use. Tibetan Ghau is used as an ornament to help the wearer to ward off negative energy and attract blessings. Ghau pendants are also used as a portable shrine and are worn on a cord around the neck and hung close to the heart. They are commonly used to provide magical protection, draw love and money or increase the wearer's gambling luck.
