Main name of the sun, understood as a deity, in Indian tradition. The god is also known in the Vedas by other names, in particular Āditya and Savitar to whom the most famous of the Vedic mantras, the gāyatrī, is addressed every morning.

The Hindu cult of the Sun God Surya is common to many religions, although the name with which the deity is identified varies depending on the place. In India itself Surya is a deity common to Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.

It is easy to imagine how primitive civilizations and then less ancient ones recognized the sun as a sort of father and protector of humanity. The constant movement in the sky and its life-giving heat meant that since the dawn of humanity it became an object of worship, identified with a benevolent divinity.
