Alla (Mesopotamian god)

Ancient Mesopotamia

Alla or Alla-gula was a Mesopotamian god associated with the underworld. He functioned as the sukkal of Ningishzida, and most likely was a dying god similar to Dumuzi and Damu, but his character is not well known otherwise. It is known that the settlement Esagi was his cult center, but its location is presently unknown.
