The Ashvins

twin horsemen, physicians of the gods

TraditionVedic

Two riders at first light, arriving where help is needed most.

The Ashvins are twin deities of the Rigveda, radiant horsemen who ride ahead of the dawn. They are the healers of the gods, praised for rescues and cures, restoring the injured and aiding those in distress. Their hymns celebrate speed, youth, and timely intervention.
