In Hindu mythology and scriptures, Aruná or Aru is a personification of the reddish glow of the rising Sun, which is believed to have spiritual powers. The presence of Aruná, the coming of day, is invoked in Hindu prayers to Surya. Aruná is sometimes considered a part of Surya, as he is the vision and driving force behind its path through the sky. In some stories, Aruná drives the chariot of Surya, while in others, he is a manifestation of Surya, serving as a sign of the coming of the Sun.
