Legend

this limestone pillar was located on the moon Mina, and was a religious icon among the Vashan people. The interior of the pillar was riddled with caves and tunnels, and the exterior was dotted with entrances to the caves. The pillar contained forty-two distinct caves, set aside for various religious devotions. It was located in a remote corner of Mina's landmass, and was accessible only by traversing a winding path that passed through steep valleys and across swift-moving rivers. Each year at mid-winter, the most perfect of the Vashan bodhis appear at the cave entrances and cough up their sin-bullets. The pilgrims who trekked to Mina then gather up the sin-bullets and consume them, hoping to grind them in their true stomachs and absolve themselves of their sins.
