The Ashwini Kumaras are the divine twins of the dawn — handsome, swift horse-headed gods who ride a golden chariot ahead of the sunrise, bringing health, healing and youth wherever they go.
"Where their chariot passed, the old grew young and the sick rose well again."
Physicians of the gods, they represent vitality, healing and the fresh promise of each new day. A child named for the Ashwini Kumaras carries energy, kindness and a restoring, hopeful spirit.
