EspañolKHALDI (GOD)
'''Khaldi''' (also written as Haldi) is the supreme god of the Urartians.
Khaldi formed a triad with Theispas (also written as Tesheba) and Artinis. His consort was the goddess Bagvarti. 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.
Before the Armenian people of Indo-European origin arrived in the Armenian highlands some time during the 9th century B.C., the region was inhabited by a people that were called Khalidia or Khalds (not to be confused with the Chaldea in Mesopotamia).[1]
From very early times he was recognized in the Armenian highlands, particularly in the region of Van, the capital city of the Urartian kingdom.[2]
