Six stone idols were made from a large rock mountain in Irunutty (South Malabar).
Two female and four male.
One of the goddess was stolen and was lost for several years.
Men went looking for it.
Some say they have seen it in a mall in Sharjah (Saudi Arabia). Others say it is in a musuem in Paris.
The other goddess got herself a shrine and a thousand followers.
Hens travel all the way from Tamil Nadu in crowded cages to sacrifice themselves in front of her.
She likes blood. She is always angry.
Three male gods found temples for themselves however on the walls of the outer arch.
One got its nose broken nose during the annual carnival renovations.
The last one among the six had divine powers. Providence.
No temple was made around him. No one knew that this piece had sacred strength from the cosmos. He waited in sculptors shed for a number of years and several hundred years after his death withered down into sand and soil. A passing birds dropping fell on the sand soil rock blend and miraculously it had a small seed buried between shit. The seed grew into a tree and rock idol particles intermixed and became a part of its branches and leaves. The fruits it dropped healed birds who could not fly.
Years later someone found the stolen goddess in the local river.
He placed it under the secret sacred tree. The god and goddess merged.
Forests grew around them.
