Sandi Pennu is the god of boundaries among the Kondh, named in the established source leads and corresponding to the 'god of boundaries' whom Macpherson, and Tylor after him, place in the group of six great gods that follow the supreme pair: the rain-god, the goddess of first-fruits, the god of increase, the god of hunting, the iron war-god, and the god of boundaries. In a society organised around villages and septs, where the limits of settlement and cultivation carried both legal and ritual weight, a deity of boundaries had a clear social function. Like the other second-rank gods he is reckoned an offspring of the Sun-god Bura Pennu and the Earth-goddess Tari Pennu.
