ANKUSH

Ankush is a term  commonly used for anchoring or keep controlling over somebody or something. It is a kind of string for keeping control of persons or ideas or actions.  However, in religious and traditional purpose, it is the term used for some objects made of small wooden handle topped by a strong, sharp metal hook. In Buddhist tradition, the handle is sometimes made in the form of the Bajra, being the attribute of many Tantric deities. When a Bajra surmounts the Ankush, it is, then, called Bajrakush.
