Aturyanda was the last antediluvian ruler of the city Kathyasundi before it and the world succumbed to the Great Flood which bears his name. His character is central to the Kalaman epic, the Aturyandakumi and he is one of the few persons from such great antiquity for whom a single source gives considerable detail. Later sources in ancient Kalama provide additional information about Aturyanda, but their authenticity is not held in as high esteem as the Aturyandakumi which Kalaman scholars believe was originally transmitted orally for at least five thousand years until it was recorded. In most accounts, his wife is Vishla.

In Ithatian legend, the antediluvian king Bassalós is the ruler of a great city that is destroyed by a great flood. He is often considered equivalent to Aturyanda.
