Savitr (
/ˈsævɨtər/; Sanskrit सवित्र्, meaning stimulator, rouser) IAST: savitr In Vedic religion, Savitr (stem), Savitā (nominative singular) is a solar deity (see Deva) and one of the Adityas i.e. off-spring of Vedic deity Aditi. His name in Vedic Sanskrit connotes "impeller, rouser, vivifier". Savitr has been celebrated in eleven whole hymns of the Rig Veda and in parts of many others, his name being mentioned about 170 times in aggregate. In modern Hinduism, Savitr is not worshiped directly. However, in spite of the common ignorance, the sacred Gayatri mantra is devoted to this God and Savitr is indirectly venerated.
