An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

The goddess Ajana Alla is sometimes credited as the creator of the world, sometimes as the creator of the universe. Her relationship to Aculaguna is uncertain under the latter belief; sometimes they are spouses, sometimes she is being her own mother, thus the translation ‘womb of the mother.’ Ajana Alla is also believed to be embodied in Terra itself, lending religious conviction to the concern many Malivians have for the environment, as well as her association with farming.

  • The goddess Ajana Alla is sometimes credited as the creator of the world, sometimes as the creator of the universe. Her relationship to Aculaguna is uncertain under the latter belief; sometimes they are spouses, sometimes she is being her own mother, thus the translation ‘womb of the mother.’ Ajana Alla is also believed to be embodied in Terra itself, lending religious conviction to the concern many Malivians have for the environment, as well as her association with farming. The patron god of all things concerning life, birth, families and growth, she is especially revered in rural communities, where they are especially dependent on her grace. Ajana Alla is portrayed as a middle aged woman, usually in working clothes and sometimes pregnant depending on what she is being called upon for. Avatars of Ajana Alla include the Zoka River, Queen Citti and the wanderer Gaura.
