In addition to her role as a bringer of light, Ushas is associated with renewal and hope. She is often invoked in prayers for a fresh start and is seen as a symbol of the cyclical nature of time. Her presence is believed to inspire creativity and vitality, making her an important figure in Vedic traditions.
