In Hinduism, the Sun God, also known as Surya or Aditya, is considered the creator of the universe and the source of all life. He is the supreme soul who brings light and warmth to the world.

The Sun God is important in Hinduism because:

He is the source of all life

He renders warmth and light to the entire world

He is one of the several trinities along with Agni and either Vayu or Indra

He is the giver and sustainer of life

He is the giver of good health

Many Hindus start their day with Surya stuti, or offering prayers to the Sun god. People engaged in agricultural practices worshipped the Sun God because their crops depended on the sun for their sustenance and life.

The Vedas assert that the Sun (Surya) is the creator of the material universe (Prakriti). The Matsya Purana says “Aarogyam Bhashkaradichhet” (Sun is the giver of good health).
