Saura (Hinduism)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Saura is a religion and denomination of Hinduism,[1] originating as a Vedic tradition. Followers of Saura worship Surya as the Saguna Brahman. At present the Sauras are a very small movement, much smaller than other larger denominations such as Vaishnavism or Shaivism. There was a rapid decline of the Sauras in the 12th and 13th century CE.
