Surya (the supreme light) was the chief solar deity in Hinduism; he also represents the Sun in India and Nepal. He is one of the core elements of Hindu astrology; Surya was the chief of Navagraha and the Classical Planets. He had 3 wives; Saranyu, Yama, and Yami. From northeast India, 11th century CE.
