Vimal
In Ithatian mythology, the demi-mortal offspring of the Isxinthion god Liluthio and the mortal woman, Thiobena, was the demi-god Vimal, the namesake of Lake Vimala of which he is the ancient custodian. Vimalians conventionally refer to him as Lord Vimal. However in Kalaman Mythology, Vimal was known as Bhimala and was the son of Vahmu and Hesukh. Vimal is the namesake of Vimalia and worshiped to this day as a patron deity of the land. There are many temples dedicated to his cult and he is honored in every city along the shore of Lake Vimala in which he is thought to dwell.
Depiction in Art and Legend
In very ancient times, Vimal (Bhimala) was depicted with two webbed legs and feet. Since at least the time of Salmakhamer, he has been depicted with human feet. His skin is colored teal or teal blue, he has long, thick, curly dark hair and tanned skin, and a thick, dark beard. He wields a great iron rod that never rusts in his right hand, a sea shell in his left hand, and a gold crown with small, tall rods pointing directly up on his head. He wears a great robe made of golden fish scales. His feet are bare.
