Does anyone know anything about Hari the Persian God? Anything more definite than the web site, or something about the Persian text that (s)he appears in? Hari is used in some Persian words where the origin is debated: either derived from words for (flowing) water, or borrowed words for valley etc. In Indic, it derives from a colour word, possibly yellow-green, and one of its enormously varied set of meanings is indeed a god in the Hindu pantheon. I would be very interested in finding something more definite about a similarly named God of the Parsi pantheon.
