That heart-shaped facial disc is a great giveaway. We call it Lakshmi Pyacha (owl) associated with Goddess Lakshmi the Goddess of wealth and it is considered a good sign if this bird roosts in your home. (These hunt rodents that shelter in granaries where the crop used to be stored. Many granaries= rich person. No wonder the association is with wealth)
