Num-Torum


Num-Torum is the supreme god or father god of the Ob-Ugrian peoples. He is the father of the hero Mir-Susne-Hum (Мир-Суснэ-Хум), six other sons, including Postajankt-iki, and one daughter. His siblings are Hotel-Ekva ', Etposzojka ', Naj-Ekva ', Kuly-Otir ' and his wife, Kaltes-Ekwa (Калтэс-Э̄ква). According to the Khanty people, he lives on the highest level of heaven, which means that it is difficult for people to talk to him, thus the children of Num-Torum are consulted on his behalf. He and his seven sons lived in a house of gold and silver.
