Abstract

Worship is the rules that are carried out in order to get closer and feel by having a higher standard. The effects of such a human mentality can be said to be myths such as magic, ritual, belief, worship. And just as human life, which began with nature, has undergone various evolutions, so has the cult of faith. Thus, the study reveals that idolatry, one of the most popular forms of worship in the country, has gained unshakable faith in the evolving human civilization over time. Worship of this deity, which is a part of the culture associated with the life of the people and is a miraculous miracle of enlightenment, has become popular in the scientific world as a bridge connecting the culture of the ancestral way of life and strengthening the unity among the people.
