The aim of the study was to explore the evil eye belief practices among Saraiki mothers in a village in Punjab, Pakistan. Saraiki mothers of Punjab believe in the evil eye phenomenon and have perceptions about its causes and effects. They adopt several types of protective and remedial practices to ward off the evil eye. This study investigates the perceived causes and effects of the evil eye and protective and remedial practices. Using qualitative interviews as primary research method, the researcher approached ten (educated & uneducated) mothers in the village and conducted in-depth interviews. The researcher conducted qualitative content analysis. Themes were emerged directly from the data that produced the interpretation of the finding. People religiously believe in the evil eye and its harmful effects. They relate it with a feeling of envy that intentionally or unintentionally trigger harmful wishes. Besides other folk remedies, Islamic amulets (tawiz) and incantations (dam/ ruqya) are popular religious remedies.
