Brihaspati (Sanskrit: बृहस्पति, IAST: Bṛhaspati), is a Hindu god. In the ancient Vedic scriptures of Hinduism, Brihaspati is a deity associated with fire, and the word also refers to a god who counsels the devas and devis (gods and goddesses).[2][3][4] In some later texts, the word refers to the largest planet of the solar system, Jupiter, and the deity is associated with the planet as a Navagraha.[2][5]
