According to Hindu mythology, before the battle of Mahabharata began, the prowess of Barbarika was said to be unmatched. He had decided to favour the weaker side so he could remain just, a decision which would have resulted in the complete annihilation of both sides, leaving only Barbarika as the sole survivor. It is said that Shree Krishna, to avoid such devastating results, asked Barbarika for his head (sheesh daan), to which he readily agreed. Shree Krishna was extremely happy with the devotion shown to him, and by the great sacrifice of Barbarika that he granted him a boon, according to which Barbarika would be known by Krishna’s own name, Shyam Ji in the kaliyug (present times) and would be worshipped in his own form. Legend is Barbarik was a brave warrior. He carried a unique triple arrow – or a bow with three arrows. The three arrows could finish any war in a minute. The first arrow would mark the people who need to be protected. The second arrow would mark the people to be killed and the third arrow goes and kills the ones who need to be killed. This pendant is made with all the folklore and tries to capture the devotion and feelings of the devotees of Khatu Shyam. People have firm ebleif that Khatu Shyam ji is the utlimate saviour when all hopes elsewhere are lost. Pendant captures his head in form of Krishna, his famous three arrows with bow, and his devotees ultimate chant---Haare ka Sahara, Shyam Baba hamara.
