Mitra

In Hinduism, Mitra is a solar deity and god of honesty, friendship and contracts. He is one of the Adityas.

Mitra was worshipped primarily in pre-Vedic times and his importance slowly faded with the arrival of the Aryans in India. His worship later spread to Persia (under the name Mithra) and then to the Roman Empire, where he was called Mithras.
