Asura
In
Hinduism, the
Asura are a group of deities, sometimes inaccurately called demons. They were opposed to the devas and may be the gods worshipped prior to the
Vedic invasion. They are children of
Kasyapa.
The term corresponds to the Zoroastrian word Ahura. In Zoroastrianism the Ahuras are supreme, while the devas are demonic.
