PaantuPaantu, the Mud-Clad Visiting Deity
Paantu
Detailed Description
This is a bizarre visiting deity covered in mud and vines. It is said to chase villagers while glaring from beneath an expressionless mask, pressing muddy handprints onto them to drive away the year's misfortunes. Though its arrival is rough and chaotic, it brings both awe and blessings, as the mud it bestows is believed to grant protective power to people and their homes. Usually residing in the otherworld, isolated from the human realm, it only crosses the boundaries of the village on designated festival days, fully coated in the mud of the Spring of Birth. Its silent, plodding steps reflect its solemn duty as a deity of purification—taking the impurities and calamities of the people upon itself and bearing them back to the otherworld.
