daubed with red colour which holds the memory of blood sacrifices, placed under the branches of sacred tree is part of the Indian
landscape,in this way also the presence of Aiyanar, the Lord, was marked in principle, by a rough of stone, the works of art, small or
gigantic, made of clay, larger than life, arrived after, proclaiming his exhistence.
