Ragh is the supreme god of the Lezgin pantheon and the personification of the sun, his name being simply the Lezgin word for the sun itself. He dwells in the seventh and highest of the celestial spheres, from which he governs the ordered world; the lesser gods are ranked in the spheres below him. His pre-eminence is inferred from the density of solar imagery in the region's petroglyphs and grave-goods and from funerary customs oriented toward the sun. Scholars align the triad Ragh, Alpan and Varz with the Helios, Zeus and Selene whom Strabo reports as the principal deities of Caucasian Albania, the ancient polity that embraced the ancestral Lezgic tribes.
