Wayne,

Isnt Rahu (an Asura Lord). The Rahu devouring Suriya and Chandima is a Jataka story that tells how Buddha asked Rahu to release these two Deva. But why do the Buddhist actually worship Rahu?

In Thai Buddhism Rahu is believed to be a deity which can eat away bad luck and "little people". These are represented by the devas Suriya and Chandra, who reported Rahu trying to steal the nectar of immortality, causing him to be cut into half by Vishnu's Cakra.
