Hastar: Kept sleeping inside his mother’s womb

Hastar kept sleeping inside his mother’s womb until the father and boy’s ancestors invoked him one day, and built a temple for him. This is why people say, the father explains, deities express their anger by torrential rains upon Tumbbad. The film shows Hastar who, according to mythology stated in the movie, was banished to the womb of the mother goddess for being greedy for food and gold. [19] The film is divided in three chapters which Barve said was also a metaphor for the "journey of India, as we see it today." [19] Hastar is a fictional character based on a possible origin from Hindu scriptures. He is a greedy god who lives in the womb of the Goddess of Plenty and is worshiped by a mysterious village in Maharashtra. Tumbbad introduces Hastar as a Hindu god, but intriguingly, there is no known mention of Hastar in Indian mythology. The film skillfully aligns with its lore, where all references to Hastar were meant to be obliterated.
