In Hinduism, there is separate KingdOm for each God, These are called "Lok". For Surya dev (Sun god), his KingdOm is known as "Surya Lok".

Sun God God Surya related with Ramayan and Mahabharat

In Ramayana, God Surya is described as father of the Monkey King Sugriv. Sugriv helped Lord Rama and Lakshman beat the devil king Ravan. Lord Surya also trains Hanuman as his guru. The Suryavanshi dynasty of kings, Lord Rama being one of them, also claims descent from him.

In the Mahabharata, Princess Kunti receives order for a mantra from the sage Durvasa; by reciting which, she would be able to convene any god and accept a child by him. Unconvinced of the power of this mantra, Kunti innocently tests it on Lord Surya, but when Surya appears, she gets afraid and requests him to go back. However, God Surya has an responsibility to fulfil the mantra facing returning. The Sun God Surya magically causes Kunti to accept the child instantaneously even as retaining her virginity so that she, as an unmarried princess, need not face any humiliation or be subjected to questions from the general public. This chilled is Karna, Kunti feels compelled to abandon the child, Karna, who grows up to become one of the central characters in the great battle of Kurukshetra.

Family of Surya God:

Surya Dev is married to Sangnya Devi, the daughter of Lord Viswakarma the legendary architect. Vaivaswatha Manu was born to Surya. Sangnya Devi could not stand the celestial splendors of Surya and shut her eyes. Angered at this gesticulation, Surya cursed his wife that she would give birth to a child who would control life. Then Yama was born. Afterward when Sangnya Devi had cast a capricious look on Surya, she gave birth to a shifty, capricious girl child Yamuna. Afterward his wife flees in fear leaving her shadow behind. Thus Chaaya (the other name for Sangnya Devi) gave birth to Sani (Saturn), Saavarni and a daughter Tapi. Surya comes to know that Sangnya Devi is in hiding and he approaches in the form of a horse. There Aswini devataas (the physicians of paradise) as they are described, are born. Brahma makes an effort to reduce the splendour of Surya and through the light shed out, Vishnus chakra, Sivas shoola and the conches of Ashtavasuvus are made.
