Quick question: What are the Ashwins supposed to be the Gods of? According to the Vedas? There is so little information about them I could find.
Ashvins are commonly heralded as the physician gods of medicine. They are also heralded as "the best of charioteers" and solar deities, being the sons of Surya. They are sometimes called the Sun and Moon (very Mitra-Varuna coded). Their chariot is apparently a "three-columned triangular car", so a trichariot, per se.
They are very much golden retriever coded, and are friends with Ushas, so much so that they are asked to be worshipped together with her.
