Lono is a Hawaiian deity associated with agriculture, fertility, and peace. He is often linked to the cultivation of crops, particularly taro, and is celebrated during various festivals. Lono is also recognized for his connection to the rain, which is essential for farming in the Hawaiian Islands. In Hawaiian mythology, Lono is one of the four major gods, alongside Kāne, Kanaloa, and Ku. He is typically depicted with symbols of abundance, such as the pork offerings made during his festivals. Lono's presence is especially felt during the Merrie Monarch Festival, which honors hula and Hawaiian culture.
