Dushara

Dushara (Nabataean Arabic: 𐢅𐢈𐢝𐢛𐢀‎, romanized: dwšrʾ; Safaitic: 𐪕𐪆𐪇‎, romanized: dśr), also transliterated as Dusares or Dhu Shara, is a pre-Islamic Arabiangod worshipped by the Nabataeans at Petra and Hegra (of which city he was the patron). Safaitic inscriptions imply he was the son of the goddess Al-Lat, and that he assembled in the heavens with other deities. He is called "Dushara from Petra" in one inscription. Dushara was expected to bring justice if called by the correct ritual.
