Recently I visited the Linga Bhairavi temple with my family. If you've seen pictures of Kali, Durga and other Hindu mother goddesses you'll see they're generally crushing some guy under their feet, some Asura-looking guy. So there was this little kid, no more than a year old probably. And at the entrance of the temple one of the pillars has a guy carved at the bottom, being crushed.
This little kid went to the guy, touched his chin (she couldn't reach his forehead) and went to her brother holding her hand cupped out and rubbed it on his forehead. Then she went back, touched his chin, came back and gave the blessings to another family. And so on until she'd brought blessings for everyone. One of these times she fell down on the way back. And I guess she thought the blessings had fallen down and scattered too because she turned back and touched the stone guy's chin again and brought the blessings.
I don't think that guy was ever worshiped. He's more likely an Asura demon. I bet he appreciated it though. It was just too too cute
