Fire (Agni) is revered as a Devata, with the sun worshipped as its celestial form since time immemorial. The Rig Veda, the world's oldest text, places Agni at its core.
The Agni Suktam (Rig Veda 1.1) states:
"अग्निमीळे पुरोहितं यज्ञस्य देवमृत्विजम्""Agni as priest, lord, and master of sacrifice, the giver of prosperity and fertility."
