Khaldi (god)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Khaldi is the supreme god of the Urartians. Khaldi formed a triad with Theispas and Artinis. The Urartians regarded him as their ancestor. Khaldi's main temple was built in the ancient city of Musasir, southwest of Lake Urmia.

The American composer Alan Hovhaness composed a work for piano, four trumpets, and percussion called Khaldis, Op. 91 (1951), named for the Urartian god.
