Dyaus Pita

Redirected from Dyaush In Hinduism, Dyaus Pita is the Sky Father[?], husband of Prthivi and father of Agni and Indra. Originally, Prthivi and Dyaus Pita were one god called Dyavaprthivi.

In art, he appears in two different forms. He is a red bull who bellows thunder, or a black horse adorned with pearls, symbolizing the stars.

Dyaus Pita was killed by Indra, his son, who grabbed his foot and pulled him from the sky; he fell to his death.
