Origin and History of SAROOP

Description:

I checked my massive collection of idioms and proverbs, and came up empty.

This name is linked to a mighty god, whose representative is very popular. This god is closely related to another important figure in the same group of gods. Two famous festivals honor this name: ones a lively event with parades and religious music, the other involves community get-togethers and gifts.

Think Saroop, or Sarup Singh (adding a common last name), or even a shorter version like Rupe or Rup. The sounds could also shift, maybe to Sharoop, or even something totally different that still sounds the same. It all depends on where and how this name is used.
