Hey there kiddo! So, a "daayan" is a word from Indian folklore and it means a witch or a female demon. She is a character who is believed to have magical powers and can do anything from scaring people to making them sick with just a glance or a curse. Many people in India believe in daayans and think they can bring bad luck or harm if they are angry. Some people say that a daayan has a long tongue and can change her shape to look like something else, like a cat or a bird. But don't worry, daayans are just stories that people tell to scare each other and they aren't real. So, just enjoy the stories and don't let them scare you too much!
