Fire deities are divine beings associated with fire, heat, and light in various mythologies around the world. They often symbolize transformation, destruction, and renewal, reflecting the dual nature of fire. Cultures may worship these deities to seek protection from fire-related disasters or to gain favor for agricultural practices that rely on fire, such as land clearing. In many traditions, fire deities are depicted with specific attributes or symbols. For example, in Hinduism, the god Agni represents fire and is central to rituals and sacrifices. Similarly, in Greek mythology, Hephaestus is the god of fire and craftsmanship, embodying the creative and destructive aspects of fire.
