Dyaus Pitar

Dyaus Pitar is an ancient Indo-European deity, often considered the sky god or father figure. His name translates to "Sky Father" and is similar to gods like Zeus in Greek mythology or Jupiter in Roman tradition. In early Indo-Aryan beliefs, he was seen as the paternal source of life and the heavens, symbolizing divine authority and the sky’s vastness. Over time, his worship diminished in favor of other deities, but he remains a significant figure in understanding the religious and mythological origins of Indo-European cultures.
