 | Surya (Hindu deity) | |
| Note: in Hinduism, both the Sun and the Sun god. Although in the Vedic period several other deities also possessed solar characteristics, most of these were merged into a single god in later Hinduism. Surya was once ranked along with Vishnu, Shiva, Shakti, and Ganesha, and many temples dedicated to him are found throughout India. In the pantheon of Vedic Hinduism, Surya is the son of Kaśyapa by his wife Aditi; one of the gods in the category of Adityas, sons of sovereign principles of the universe, the chief solar deity; depicted with hair and arms of gold, having a chariot pulled by seven horses, which represent the seven chakras. He presides as Ravi over "Ravi-var" or Sunday. | |
