Everyday early in the morning, on the eastern horizon, Usha arises bringing in freshness, enthusiasm, alertness and delight. She is described as a fresh purified young lady decked in ornaments, with sparkling with grace. She is picturized as a smiling lady, throwing away the robe of darkness, anxious and longing for her union with her husband Surya. Following divine order, she maintains her time everyday, hence she is called Rtavari.<ref name=":62" /> |
