Indra | Indrani — Historia y Análisis

Indra fue mencionado en himnos religiosos como un dios poderoso desde aproximadamente 1500 a.C. Pero con el tiempo, su importancia disminuyó. En textos posteriores, y para los creyentes hindúes de hoy en India, él es solo uno de los guardianes de las direcciones cardinales, el del Este.

Indra y su esposa Indrani aún juegan un papel importante en Nepal. Efigies de Indra son llevadas por las calles durante un festival anual.
