Comment: Sources 1 and 3 appear to be primary sources. Source 2 would likely not meet Wikipedia source standards and does not appear to have been reviewed by editors (not that this is a requirement, but it goes a long way when you're trying to argue that it's a reliable source). We need to see better, reliable, secondary sources. MWFwiki (talk) 07:34, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
Huhu also spelled Hūhū is the name of a Gandharva, a celestial being according to Hindu, Buddhist and Jain traditions. In Hindu mythology, Huhu was the son of Kashyapa Prajapati and Pradha[1][2] and the brother of Haha.
In the epic Mahabharata, Huhu was one of the many Gandharvas present at Arjuna's birth[1]. He was also one of the Gandharvas who later welcomed Arjuna when Arjuna visited his father Indra in the Devaloka[1]. He lives in the Indrasabha, or in the Brahmaloka[3].
In the Vishnu Purana, Huhu was one of the Gandharvas who rode on Surya's chariot.[2]. Huhu rode Surya's chariot during the month of Ashadha, along with the Aditya Varuna, the Rishi Vasishtha, the Apsara Rambha, the Yaksha Rathachitra, the Naga Jahajanya, and the Rakshasa Budha.[4] Also, he was among the singers in Raivata's court when Raivata consulted Brahma to find a groom for his daughter[4]
According to both Śvetāmbara and Digambara sects of Jain tradition, Huhu is the name of a Gandharva, among the vyatantra gods which represents one of the four classes of celestial beings.[2]
In modern literature, the name of the gandharva (a sound representing laughter) and his strange appearance (as a horse-headed man) was used in a satirical story by Telugu author Viswanatha Satyanarayana[5]. The gandharva is an object of surprise and ridicule for the Europeans, but transforms into an object of wonder when they realize it speaks Sanskrit[6].
