Anaadi - The Divine Unity of the Divine Gods
Anaadi means "Without Beginning or End," symbolizing the convergence of all divine gods as One. It is a multi-gendered, multi-faced deity, with each face gazing out in the four directions, usually depicted with four arms and two legs, but occasionally adorned with four legs, representing its cosmic nature.
Faces: Each face of Anaadi embodies the unity of divine gods:
The first face radiates wisdom and creativity, symbolizing the dual essence of Janak the Creator and Harbard the Wanderer.
The second face exudes a calming and relaxed face at peace, representing Majka's balance and harmony.
The third face looks like a demon with a malevolent grin, echoing Nekcrom's malevolent nature.
The fourth face is stern but soft and signifies justice and compassion, symbolizing Valinos.
Worship and Devotion:
Physical Features & Attire: Anaadi's radiant complexion is a fusion of golden and pearl hues, signifying its limitless nature. They are adorned in flowing, ornate robes representing the cosmos. Around each of their necks, they wear a pendant symbolizing the four elements: earth, fire, water, and air. On their heads, each wears an intricately designed crown.
Crowns: Each crown is adorned with specific motifs, reflecting the deity's attributes:
The first crown is embellished with celestial patterns of stars and moons, symbolizing the ever-changing world (Janak/Harbard).
The second crown is adorned with intricate endless connected knots, symbolizing Majka's interconnectedness of all things and the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
The third crown bears dark, foreboding imagery of ligtning bolts and fire, signifying malevolence and destruction (Nekcrom).
The fourth crown is regal and noble, adorned with symbols of shells and lotus flowers, signifying compassion (Valinos).
Jewelry: Anaadi's many arms are adorned with celestial jewelry, including bracelets and anklets, each representing a different facet of the universe. These jewels shimmer with cosmic energy.
Hands & Symbols: Anaadi's hands each hold symbols of their power:
The first hand holds a glowing orb that spins, representing creation, wisdom, and the ever-changing world (Janak/Harbard).
The second hand carries a Mandala with the yinyang in the center, symbolizing harmony and balance (Majka).
The third hand wields a dark Falchon, embodying malevolence and destruction (Nekcrom).
The fourth hand clutches an Elephant Goad and a noose, signifying compassion and justice (Valinos).
Anaadi stands as a living testament to the interconnectedness of divine forces in the world, reminding all that balance, creation, destruction, justice, compassion, wisdom, and malevolence are intertwined aspects of existence, unified in the One God without beginning or end, revered by the Rajendra and Sharadi as "Boorah" or "The Circle Elite."

The third-highest caste among the Rajendra is called the Jadoogar. They are a mage caste but work among the temples and churches.
