God of the sun

 

In Hinduism, Surya is God of the sun. He is called Suriya in Tamil; Suria in Malay; Suraya, Suriya or Phra Athit in Thai; Surya in Indonesian.

 

A well-known Hindu mode of worship of the devotional movements of Surya is done at the rising of the sun, known as Sūrya namaskāra (Sun Salutation).

 

Surya was Hanuman’s guru in Ramayana epic, and father of Karna in Mahabharata epic.

 

Surya is associated with food grain, i.e., wheat.
