Pushana was the god of Shudras in the Later Vedic period. He was also the god of cattle, roads, and travelers. Pushana was often depicted as a young man with a goad and a dog. He was also associated with the sun and was sometimes called the "charioteer of the sun."

In the Later Vedic period, Pushana was associated with the Shudras. While the concept of deities specifically linked to individual Varnas is complex and not explicitly mentioned in all texts, some sources like later Brahmanical texts suggest the association of Pushana with the Shudras.
