Adityas are a group of solar deities in Hindu mythology, often associated with the sun and light. They are considered the sons of the celestial sage Aditi and represent various aspects of the sun, such as health, prosperity, and truth. Each Aditya embodies different qualities and is worshipped for their unique attributes. In Hindu texts, there are typically twelve Adityas, each corresponding to a month of the year. They play a significant role in the Vedas and are often invoked in rituals for blessings and well-being. The Adityas are also linked to the concept of Dharma, promoting righteousness and moral order in the universe.
