Religion:A'ra

From HandWiki

A'ra is a tutelary god worshipped in pre-Islamic Arabia, particularly northern Arabia.

Sacrifices

The name implies a holy place or an altar, but its Arabic root also means "to dye". It is implied that many sacrifices (which may include children) were offered to the idol, staining it with blood.[1]
