Indiana Jones' quest for the 'Sankara' stones stolen from a village in the Mayapore hills by worshippers of the evil Thugee cult represented the theme of the second Indiana Jones adventure. The stones were modelled after the linga symbol of the deity Shiva. In the story according to Hindu legend the god Shiva had given the priest Sankara five magical stones to help him combat evil. Centuries later, the Thugee cult, evil worshippers of the Hindu goddess of death - Kali, led by the high priest Mola Ram sought all five 'Sankara' stones in order to become all powerful. The Thugee had found three of the stones and kidnapped all the children from the village to dig in the mine beneath the temple of death where according to legend two of the 'Sankara' had been buried by a priest loyal to Kali when the British raided Pankot Palace years before.
