These handcrafted locks are very popular among the new-age set. Temple locks are supposedly used on temple and shrine gates in Tibet. Then, the locks are sold as a shrine artifact to raise money for the shrine. The Deity represented on this temple lock is of the Goddess Tara. So this lock should’ve come from a temple or shine dedicated to Tara. The lock is said to be magically endowed with the power of that Deity for it is truly a shrine artifact.
