They never were Tulpas. There weren't much that supported this theory. They either sprang into existence outside of the Judeo-Christian God's work or were made by God inadverdently. Deities predated humans, especially since three of them, Atropos and her sisters, actually work for God and Heaven.

Kali's line could be interpreted they went to Earth first (since they would have no place in Heaven unless they willingly worked for the Judeo-Christian God) before God could actually send his son Jesus to mankind to convert the infidels, so to speak.

They may not even be 'gods' but simply powerful beings with their own unique powers and were simply worshipped in their respective geographic circles.
