Ushas
Ushas (; '), Sanskrit for "dawn",〔, p. 304.〕 is a Vedic deity, and consequently a Hindu deity as well.
Ushas is an exalted goddess in the ''Rig Veda'' but less prominent in post-Rigvedic texts. She is often spoken of in the plural, "the Dawns." She is portrayed as warding off evil spirits of the night, and as a beautifully adorned young woman riding in a golden chariot on her path across the sky. Due to her color she is often identified with the reddish cows, and both are released by Indra from the Vala cave at the beginning of time.〔Kuiper, F.B.J. (1968). ''Ancient Indian Cosmogony''. Bombay 1983. Schmidt, H.P. ''Brhaspati und Indra''. Wiesbaden 1968.〕
