In Indian Folklore, Airi is the ghost of someone who was killed in hunting.
Description
“Those who see Airi face to face are burnt up by the flash of his eye, or are torn to pieces by his dogs, or have their livers extracted and eaten by the fairies who accompany him.” - (Crooke, P.R.I., Vol. I., p. 262; Ethnologie du Bengale, p. 100).
