Aditya

In Hinduism, Ādityas (आदित्य Āditya, pronounced aːdɪtjɐ), meaning of Aditi, refers to the offspring of the goddess Aditi and her husband the sage Kashyapa. The name, Āditya, in the singular, is taken to refer to the Sun God, Surya.The Rig Veda mentions 7 Ādityas, along with Martanda, who is considered as the eighth Āditya.The Bhagavata Purana lists a total of twelve Ādityas as Sun-gods. In each month of the year a different Āditya is said to shine. According to the Vaishnava tradition of Hinduism, each of these Ādityas is a different expression of the Supreme God Vishnu in the form of the Sun-God.
