"In the East, as the pillar of Wisdom, this Deity was called Brahma; in the West, as the pillar of Strength, Vishnu; and in the South, as the pillar of Beauty, Siva, and hence, in the Indian initiations the representative of Brahma was seated in the East, that of Vishnu in the West and that of Siva in the South." - Ancient Mystic Oriental Masonry By R. Swinburne Clymer pg. 158
Surya also connotes the solar deity in Hinduism,[9] particularly in the Saura tradition found in states such as Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Odisha. Surya is one of the five deities considered as equivalent aspects and means to realizing Brahman in the Smarta Tradition.[10] Surya's iconography is often depicted riding a chariot harnessed by horses, often seven in number[2] which represent the seven colour rays of the rainbow.[5][11] In medieval Hinduism, Surya is also an epithet for the major Hindu gods Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu.[9][12] In some ancient texts and arts, Surya is presented syncretically with Indra, Ganesha or others.[6][11] Surya as a deity is also found in the arts and literature of Buddhism and Jainism.[13][14]

Im confused how the article connects. I am also confused about this Apollo article. I dont see anything necessarily inaccurate. Sounds slightly weird but need to look at sources to be sure.
