In Hindu mythology, a giant demon or powerful being who opposes the gods; a titan-like figure often depicted as a villain.
From Sanskrit 'daitya,' from 'Diti,' the mother of demons in Hindu cosmology, plus the suffix '-ya' denoting descendancy.
The Daityas are endlessly fascinating in Hindu epics—they're not always evil, but often complex characters who challenge the gods and force the universe to balance itself!
