Mola Ram
CHARACTER
Mola Ram is a Thuggee high priest and antagonist in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. He will straight up rip your heart out. For reals.


Mola Ram plans to use the ancient power of the five Sankara Stones to bring about the reign of the destruction goddess, Kali. He steals one of the stones from a nearby village and kidnaps the villager's children to mine for the remaining stones in the caves under Pankot Palace. Mola Ram controls his followers by making them drink a brainwashing magic potion called the "Blood of Kali Ma." He also performs human sacrifices by magically removing the heart from a victim's chest - without killing them, the heart still beating in his hand - and submersing them in hot lava. He is not a nice guy.

Mola Ram's followers also appear to have access to Kali's dark powers. The young Maharaja is seen using a voodoo doll on Indiana Jones.
