Huwasi stone
In Hittite mythology, a huwasi stone is sacred to a deity and is usually situated in a temple. Larger "huwasi" stones were placed in an open area surrounded by trees and other plants. The stones were treated as gods; they were given food and water and were anointed and washed. At any cult centre, the deities who couldn't be given a temple were worshipped at "huwasi" stones. The term "huwasi" was used to describe the housing of the sacred stela, the "huwasi" stone.
