The mythical meanings and religious functions of the shrines are related to different Baltic and Lithuanian gods and goddesses. The interconnectedness of the shrines is evidenced by the complexes that own several different types of shrines. The interrelationships of the sanctuaries of Molėtai region are constructed in the legends on the example of chanting of multipart songs. It is said that fairies or witches in different places sing the same song or conform each other at the same time, "point by point".

The Laumiaduobis (fairy's pit) appears in the legends about three fairies chanting multipart song in Ankštė, Laumikoniai (Laumiakalny) and Rožiakmenis: “In Laumikonys, in the village, a fairy lives on this hill, and another lives in Unkščia, Laumiaduobis, and a third lives in Rožiakmenis. And they chanted the multipart song. So the one in Laumikonys begins: “Koja, koja, koja”. In Laumiaduobis it was: “Tu kojela kojelyte”. In Rožiakmenis then it was: “Tu kojute kojučiute”. (narrated by K. Ilgevičius, 75, in Laumikonys, written by P. Dovydaitis in 1968).
