Ningirsu

Ningirsu's name is likely derived from the Sumerian phrase 'ni-gir-su', meaning 'Lord of the City'. He was worshipped as a divine presence associated with the city of Lagash and its temple, Eninnu.

No physical description of Ningirsu is provided in the Gudea cylinders.

As the patron deity of Lagash, Ningirsu granted prosperity and fertility to the land. He was said to have appeared to Gudea in a dream, guiding him through the construction of the temple Eninnu.
