Surya, also known as Aditya, stands out as the Hindu god of the Sun. He's seen as the universe's creator and source of all life, bringing light and warmth to the world through his supreme soul. Every day, Surya travels across the sky in his golden chariot pulled by seven horses and driven by red Aruna, a personification of Dawn, who guides him on his journey. The god's most renowned temple is located at Konarak in Orissa, north-east India, but he was revered across the Indian subcontinent. As an important figure in Hinduism today, Surya also holds a minor position in Buddhism, reflecting his enduring significance.
