mountain deity

Summit divine being

A mountain deity is a god or spirit believed to inhabit or rule over a specific mountain or mountain range.

Many cultures revere mountains as sacred places where divine beings dwell—from the Greek gods on Olympus to the kami of Japan's Mount Fuji.

Such deities often serve as protectors of the land and its people, receiving offerings from those who live in their shadow or climb their slopes.
