Summary: sun. The Dawn, with her beauty and radiance, symbolizes the beginning of a new day and represents the awakening of the world. She is depicted as young, golden-haired, and bringing light to the darkness. The Dawn is invoked in prayers for protection, prosperity, and guidance, symbolizing the hope and renewal that a new day brings. Moreover, the Asvins, the twin gods, are revered for their swiftness, agility, and healing powers, considered the bringers of prosperity and well-being. In contrast, the Asuras, opposing the gods, represent darkness, deceit, and sorcery, engaging in malicious acts to hinder the gods' sacrifices and rituals. Despite their defeat in the battles with the gods, the Asuras persist in their mischief-making, challenging the divine order and harmony. Thus, the Vedic gods and deities reflect the eternal struggle between light and darkness, good and evil, in the cosmic balance of the universe.
