However, rural Tamil Nadu preserves the legend of Muthu Ardhanar (the Pearl Eldress-Lord). In this depiction, the left breast is full and sagging with age (symbolizing experience), while the right chest is flat and scarred (symbolizing ascetic power).

It had no genitals left, but possessed the broad hips of a matriarch and the weathered shoulders of a warrior. Offerings to the mature Agdistis were always practical: warm wool, bread dipped in olive oil, and silence.
