TEMPLE:
Atop a tall, sparsely vegetated hill sits the temple of Aditi. Made from white stone, the building focuses on one large, central room in the shape of a circle. The room doesn't have much in the way of furniture, instead there is a pile of cushions and rugs in the middle to relax on. The room lacks a ceiling and at night offers an unbeatable view of the stars. Smaller rooms attach to this central room, a modest amount of bedrooms and other necessities. Across the entire temple there isn't much in the way of walls between the pillars. Instead heavy curtains and richly decorated tapestries offer some privacy, though the goal seems to be to keep the inhabitants open to the heavens. The few walls there are have intricate paintings of Aditi and her children.

Outside there's a rather ferocious looking rooster and a brood of hens. There's a chicken coop by the bottom of the hill, but they seem to wander freely around the grounds. By the back of the building, there's an old water pump that dispenses holy water and is always flowing. The water fills a pond before running down the hill where it's worn a creek into the ground.

As of May 11th, there is an invisible barrier that starts a little way up the hill, surrounding the entire temple. Without an invitation from Aditi or one of her shinki, no one will be able to get past it. Except for the chickens.



Aditi
The mother of all gods

The Adityas because Saiyuki needs more celestial imagery like a hole in the head.
Gods save us from this family tree tbh Aditi and Indra and Diti and oh good infanticide.

"Some claim that, while Aditi is always present even though She cannot be seen, that she will make Herself fully visible at the advent of the apocalypse. It is then that She will wrap Her children in Her eternal cloak and protect them for all eternity."
