Surya The Sun God

Surya is a special god who dwelt in the body of the sun, and is described as the husband of dawn. Surya is also the guardian of the southwest quadrant. His father is the sky god Dyaush or Indra. One Hindu story tells how he arose from the eye of the world-giant, Purusa. Surya has golden hair and golden arms. He drives in a chariot drawn by a team of 4 or 7 horses. In India, he corresponds to the Greek Helios.
