The pratyaksha or visible god, the nishkama seva that he renders, was one of the venerable of the Vedic tradition with varuna and vayu. Somewhere the Vaishnava cult absorbed him.
He is described as riding on a chariot with single wheel, a legless charioteer Aruna and 7 splendorous white horses. This iconographic theme is also mentioned in the Greek mythology to describe Apollo and the Inca civilization too.
He nourishes and he is the energizer, the healer he is the nishkama or selfless.
