Goddess worshipped in Zoroastrian and Persian lore. Her name translates to "pure" in Avestan. She takes form of a beautiful maiden, and is mainly revered as a divinity of water. However, she is also thought to be a goddess of fertility, blessing health, child birth, cattle, and even wealth.
While primarily known as a beautiful deity who rules over rivers and water, she is also the goddess of health, fertility, safe delivery, production of livestock, harvest, wealth and expansion of land. She is often portrayed as an elegant virgin wearing a crown decorated with numerous stars in addition to a golden necklace and a golden cape, and is typically shown holding a water jug. She is also a brave god of war astride a four-wheeled chariot, toppling demons and tyrants alike. Both her allies and her enemies have been said to have offered their prayers to her.
