Biliku is revered as the Earth's Creatrix by the inhabitants of India's Andaman Islands.
She is a weather goddess who is in charge of the sun and punishes wrongdoers by sending wind, storms, and monsoons their way.
She spins the webs of plenty and time, promising to feed and shelter her people for all eternity.
Biliku, on the other hand, has a harsh and unpredictable temper, and when she feels betrayed, she unleashes cyclonic storms to sweep away homes and land.
Because the Andamanese believe that burning wax enrages Biliku, they avoid lighting candles during the rainy season.
